Butterscotch French Toast

Hey there!

I'm Tina

I’m the owner of Carrots ‘N’ Cake as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P). I use macros and functional nutrition to help women find balance within their diets while achieving their body composition goals.

FASTER METABOLISM

An in-depth, 4-week reverse dieting course for women who feel like their metabolism has slowed down, think they might have hormonal imbalance and can’t lose weight no matter what they do.

Workout

I can’t believe the marathon is just 13 days away!! 😯 I’m so ready to run it, but, at the same time, not ready! Excited, but nervous, ya know?

I’m still in taper mode, so here’s this week’s schedule from our TNT coach:

Monday: Easy 30 minute run
Tuesday: Easy 30 minute cardio
Wednesday: Easy 25 minute run
Thursday: Easy 20 minute cardio
Friday: Off
Saturday: 8 miles

After breakfast, I’m off to run an easy 3 miles around the neighborhood. It’s actually fairly warm and sunny outside this morning, so I might as well take advantage of the nice weather. I’m sure there will be plenty of treadmill running this winter.

Breakfast

Mmm”¦ Butterscotch French Toast! Seriously, who doesn’t love French toast? Or butterscotch for that matter?

However, I realize that most people don’t love the calories, fat, and sugar in such an indulgent breakfast, but a little butterscotch extract goes a long way!

Butterscotch French Toast

Makes 2 servings

Ingredients:

4 slices of whole-grain bread
1/3 cup liquid egg whites
1/4 cup milk
2 tsp butterscotch extract

Directions:

Whisk ingredients (minus the bread) together in a large mixing bowl.
Heat pan (or griddle) over medium heat; coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Coat slices of bread with the mixture and place in the pan/griddle.
Cook each piece for 2-3 minutes and then flip. Cook on the other side for about 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from pan and serve with your favorite toppings. (I spread almond butter on top of mine.)
