Almond Butter-Stuffed French Toast

January 25, 2009

Yummy breakfast!!! :mrgreen: I made Barney Butter-stuffed French toast! Every bite was like tasting heaven

Check out the melty almond butter goodness! :-D

With my BB-stuffed French toast, I also had some blood orange slices on the side. 

Breakfast with iced coffee…

Almond Butter-Stuffed French Toast 

Makes 2

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of bread
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk 
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp of almond butter

Directions:

  • Combine eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a bowl to create the French toast batter. Mix well. Set aside. 
  • Take 2 slices of bread, and spread 1 tbsp of almond butter on one slice. I used Arnold’s Bakery Light whole wheat bread, which worked great because it is thinly sliced (and just 40 calories a slice). 

  • Stick both pieces of bread together; almond butter on the inside. 

  • Coat both pieces of bread with French toast batter, keeping almond butter on the inside of the 2 pieces. 

  • Heat skillet and coat with non-stick spray.
  • Place bread in skillet; heat both sides until lightly browned, approximately 2-3 minutes each side. 

  • Top Almond butter-stuffed French toast with maple syrup (optional).
  • Eat and enjoy! 

Spring it!

melty nut butter … amazing! I never would have thought to add the ab before cooking/coating with batter, but now I will because your way sort of seals the gooey nutty filling inside like a present :-)

I always read your Sunday morning breakfast posts after I’ve eaten breakfast. And then I always want what you ate instead.

Your breakfast looks heavenly!
Quick question: Do you find the lower calorie bread as filling? I usually can’t tell myself.

oh. my. god.
hey tina, first off. i found your blog through kath’s and have been following it for a while now.. i just never knew how to leave a comment without making a blog of my own so, i decided to on friday.

that french toast looks to DIE for. i’ve always wanted to try barney butter, is it REALLY as good as you say? i’m a peanut butter gal and am not sure i would love it as much as everyone ravess about.

just wanted to say hi! and thank you for having such a great blog.
i followed it while i had an eating disorder and admired you so much & now i’m following it as i’m out in hopes to eat as intuitively as you do!

thanks for all the inspiration

=)

Look at those almond peeking out! I always tell people the chunky Barney Butter is the best as I often hear complaints about the smooth. Chunky people – TRY THE CHUNKY!

Missy (Missy Maintains) January 25, 2009 at 4:27 pm

That looks amazing! I am totally making that as soon as I get my hands on some Barney Butter!! Yummm!

Tina January 25, 2009 at 4:40 pm

@onehealthyapple: Yea, I think so, but the slices are smaller and thinner, so they might not have the same staying power as the “regular” slices of bread. I’ll have to do a little experiment! ;)

Yum, yum, yum!

Hey tina, im wondering if the LIGHT version affected your fullness/satiety after the meal? i think its hard for me to eat light versions because of this! be sure to let us know on a later post today /tomorrow! i am v. curious ;-)

MERCY! That looks insane Teen. I’m not sure how to make vegan french toast, but suddenly I’m very motivated to find out!

Reply

Marianne January 25, 2009 at 11:02 pm

That would be great with some bananas inside as well :D

Reply

Caroline January 25, 2009 at 11:50 pm

Yum! This is very similar to a recipe I was thinking of trying from the Skippy Cookbook…I think I might just skip the PB altogether and try it with AB!

Reply

lauren January 26, 2009 at 9:22 am

This looks so incredibly good. I cant wait to try it!

brandi January 26, 2009 at 9:49 am

I LOVE grilled pb&j sandwiches, so this is even better!

I love when it gets all melty in the middle :)

Looks amazing, I have got to order my BB soon & give this a try.

I made stuffed french toast on Saturday morning. It’s such a decadent breakfast- I love it! Your idea of using light bread is great! I may try it next time because I like to add lots of goodies in there :)

I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for awhile and finally made it today for breakfast…delicious! I also added some sliced bananas inside…all in all, a really fun “treat” breakfast with some serious staying power!

I’m a new reader and really enjoying your blog ( I came across it from another site but I can’t remember where). I made this recipe for breakfast this morning and my husband and I both LOVED It! What is Barney Butter and where do you get it? I just used TJs almond butter. Thanks for posting a delicious and healthy recipe!
