flax french toast.

hey, there! hope you had a great monday.

my day was filled with the usual to-dos.. monday morning meetings, porting the pups to and from daycare, my weekly meeting at GPP, a workout, a walk, lots of water, not enough veggies, and some delicious french toast.

i recently received some of ezekiel’s flax sprouted grain bread and immediately knew it needed to be french-toasted.

this bread is perfect for french toast because it is very dense and soaks up the french toast batter (can we call it batter??) perfectly.

the organic flax seed coating adds a nice texture and nutty flavor not found in your typical french toast.

i like pancakes, waffles, crepes, and biscuits.. but my all time favorite bready breakfast has to be french toast!

this nondairy, vegetarian recipe is high in fiber, protein, and vitamins B and C. it is low in sodium and sugar. it is free from preservatives and artificial ingredients. basically, this is the best french toast on the blogging block.
