BAKED FRENCH TOAST CUPS

Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs
  • 3 egg whites
  • 3/4 cup 2% Greek yogurt plain
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 12 12 oz pieces of a hearty, whole wheat bread (I used Dave’s Killer Bread Thin-Sliced)
  • 1 cup blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin pan.
  • Whisk together all ingredients down to the bread.
  • Slice each piece of bread into 9 pieces. (Stack 4 pieces to make it quicker)
  • Add the bread to the egg mixture and toss carefully. Let sit until most of the liquid is absorbed. Just 5-10 minutes. Add blueberries and stir carefully. Save a few for the tops if you want.
  • Scoop a heaping 1/3 cup bread and egg mixture into each muffin cup. Careful not to overfill like I did – it’s a mess to clean up! You may have a small amount of liquid left depending on the size of your muffin tin. If so, just discard it. Don’t overfill!
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until brown and firm.
  • Store extras in the refrigerator.

Notes

How-to-Use:
Athletes: Eat two + more berries + some nut butter to start that post morning exercise recovery ASAP. Each cup has 10 gm protein and 20 gm of carbs. Super adaptable to your energy needs - eat one or eat 3! Plus, you can top with maple syrup and berries for more carbs and/or greek yogurt for even more protein.
Healthy Eating: Smoother a french toast cup with 1/2 cup greek yogurt, berries, and a drizzle of nut butter. It'll shake breakfast up and give you all the whole grain carbs, protein, and healthy fats to fuel your morning.
Kids: Feel free to swap in your kids favorite toppings to encourage them to try these. Any fruit - dried, fresh, or frozen - or even some chocolate chips! Let them pile it on top to really up the anti of them engaging and trying them later.
Other Thoughts:
  • Dave's Killer Bread thin slices are fairly thin. If you are using a larger cut of bread, you may need less than 12 pieces. Look at how many ounces are in the loaf. You want to use 12 oz - so figure out how many slices you need of yours.
  • Store any extra in the refrigerator for 5 days. Warm in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before eating.
  • You can also freeze them!
