Banana Stuffed French Toast!

I was so torn over what my first official post should be on.. cookies? too classic. Cake? Yummm.. but it's generally advised not to eat cake at 9 at night so I will refrain.. AH! Of course... my favorite meal of the day, besides fourth meal, of course and that is... BREAKFAST!
We all know we should eat breakfast, it's good for you, it starts the tune for your whole day.Good breakfast=good day. Bad breakfast (or no breakfast)= life sucks...at least for that day.
People may not believe it (or.. the people that know me probably would) I cook breakfast every single day. I may cook 2-3 different things according to the taste requests of my family on that morning but I LOVE cooking breakfast-especially for myself :D so I indulge them...and myself. Pancakes, french toast, baked oatmeal, eggs, waffles, omlettes-whatever sounds good, I'm off. This may sound crazy, I mean who has time for this?? Well, it isn't always easy but it is always worth it!So I challenge you-get up 10 minutes early (its just 10 minutes.. don't complain) go into your kitchen and spend that 10 minutes on yourself and cook yourself breakfast (and your family too if they demand it-and they will) and relieve yourself from the mid morning -"CRAP! I didn't eat anything and now I'm going to die if I don't eat a dozen doughnuts!"-food crisis!

I,myself, would pair this with a vanilla protein shake (made with water or unsweet almond milk-but water for me)-so do with what you will on that little tidbit of info..now onto the FOOD (which is why we are all here anyway...)

Banana Stuffed French Toast

Here's what you will need:
  • two-four slices 4:9 Ezekiel bread
  • 1 banana
  • 3-4 oz. PLAIN greek yogurt (not the tons of sugar kind)
  • 1 -2 omega-3 whole eggs (or 2-3 egg whites)
  • 2 tbsp UNSWEET almond milk
  • cinnamon, to taste
  1. Warm up a skillet to medium-medium high heat(I use an electric skillet-30 bucks at walmart) sprayed with olive oil nonstick spray
  2. mix your egg with the almond milk and add cinnamon in a pie plate
  3. cut up the banana into slices and mix the greek yogurt with the banana.
  4. scoop the banana mix onto 1 or 2 slices of the bread, place the other piece on top and mash it down so it's stuck together.
  5. move the bread to the egg mix and soak 30sec on each side.
  6. cook in the skillet 5 minutes each side (or until it's done-you should know)
  7. Cut in half and look at the awesome goodness waiting for you!
-Serve this with spray butter and sugar free syrup (if you need it) OR you can try a bit of almond milk mixed with a little bit of banana protein powder for flavor and top it with that!

Welcome to your GOOD DAY!
