Ingredients
  

  • **For the Cinnamon French Toast:** - 4 slices of whole wheat bread
  • - 2 large eggs
  • - 1/2 cup 120 ml of milk
  • - 1 teaspoon 5 ml of pure vanilla extract
  • - 2 teaspoons 10 ml of ground cinnamon
  • - 1 tablespoon 15 ml of unsalted butter
  • **For the Strawberry Topping:**- 1 cup 240 ml of fresh strawberries, sliced
  • - 1 tablespoon 15 ml of honey or maple syrup
  • - A sprinkle of powdered sugar optional

Method
 

  1. Start by cracking the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add in the milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Whisk all of these together until well combined.
  2. Place your skillet or pan over medium heat. Once heated, add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
  3. One by one, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well soaked.
  4. Place the soaked bread slices on the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until each side has turned a lovely golden brown.
  5. As the French toast cooks, start prepping your strawberry topping. In another bowl, mix the sliced strawberries with honey or maple syrup.
  6. Once your French toast slices are cooked, transfer them to serving plates.
  7. Generously top each slice with your sweet strawberry mixture. And for an extra touch of magic? Sprinkle on some powdered sugar if you fancy!

Notes

1. Choosing day-old bread can enhance the texture of your French toast. It soaks up the egg mixture better without becoming too soggy.
2. Love a deeper cinnamon flavor? Feel free to sprinkle extra cinnamon on each side as the toast cooks.
3. For those watching their sugar intake, the honey or maple syrup in the strawberry topping is optional. Fresh strawberries alone still give a sweet touch!
