Banana, Blueberry Chia Jam, & Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast

This breakfast was so decadent and a great weekend treat! Best thing is - it's a treat without the guilt. 




Banana, Blueberry Chia Jam, & Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast

French Toast

2 slices of Ezekiel sprouted grain toast (use your favorite flavor)
1 egg (or for a non dairy version - try using applesauce, it's great!)
1/4 tsp of cinnamon
1 dash of nutmeg
1/2 tsp of pure vanilla extract
1 Tbsp of Almond milk (or milk of your choice)

Blueberry Chia Jam

Follow directions for my Strawberry Chia Jam

Grilled Bananas

1 banana - sliced
Coconut oil or coconut butter

Also, 2 Tbsp of all natural peanut butter (should have one ingredient - peanuts!)

Some added nutrition: crushed nuts, chia seeds & flax seeds

Directions

Preheat skillet to 350 degrees or medium heat. Prepare your blueberry chia jam - set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the egg, milk, cinnamon/nutmeg, & vanilla - beat together. Dip each slice of toast on each side into the egg mixture. Coat the skillet with coconut oil/coconut butter then place on the toast. While your toast grills - place the sliced bananas onto the skillet with the coconut oil/butter - let each side get golden.
 Let toast grill on the first side for 2-3 min or until golden brown - after flipping the first side, spread 1 tbsp of peanut butter onto the two face up cooked side of the slices. On top of the peanut butter, on one slice place the blueberry chia jam, on the other place the grilled banana. Feel free to add any other stuffings like some crushed nuts for a crunch. I added in some walnuts, pecans, chia seeds & flax seeds for some added protein & healthy fats for energy :)
Like a sandwich, stack the two face up sides on top of each other (the face down side of the toast should be cooked by now). With your spatula, press the two slices together & let your stuffed french toast cook for about 1-2 min on each side.

Top with some honey, crushed nuts, and some extra grilled banana/blueberries & enjoy!
