Enjoy this week's classic IBS recipe made from every day pantry staples.
Diner Style Maple French Toast
Breakfasts are one of the most difficult meals to eat safely in restaurants. Virtually all traditional restaurant dishes - pancakes, French toast, omelets, etc. - are made with dairy, egg yolks, and lots of fat. Add this to the fact that breakfast is the first meal of the day, and mornings tend to be the touchiest time for many folks with IBS, and you have the restaurant recipe for disaster.
What to do? Make your own, even-more-fabulous, IBS-friendly version of a diner breakfast instead! Start with this delicious French toast, add on a side of low fat turkey or tofu bacon/sausage, and a fresh fruit smoothie. You'll be in breakfast heaven, and you'll be actively keeping your digestion stable instead of triggering problems.
Makes 6 Servings
1/2 of a 12.5 oz. package Silken Lite tofu, drained on a paper towel
1 tablespoon Acacia Tummy Fiber
2 organic egg whites
1/2 cup vanilla soy/oat/rice milk
1 tablespoon dark (grade B) maple syrup
1 loaf French baguette or sourdough bread, slightly stale, cut diagonally into 1 inch thick slices
Additional maple syrup for serving
Combine first five ingredients in a blender, and blend on high speed until smooth. Pour batter into a glass pie plate. Dip slices of bread in batter, turn over, and soak for about 10 minutes. Heat a large non-stick skillet sprayed with cooking oil over medium high, add bread slices without crowding, and cook until golden brown on the bottom. Turn the slices with a rubber spatula and lightly brown the other side. Serve immediately with additional maple syrup.
You are not alone!
