whole wheat french toast with cinnamon honey

Growing up, I never liked french toast. Even the smell of it made me nauseous. I can't pinpoint the exact time when my hate for it dissapated, but I do remember when I ate it and thought, wow, I kind of like this stuff. We took a trip to Northern New York last year and stayed at a bed and breakfast where breakfast was made to order each morning. I think Aaron ordered the french toast one day and it just looked so good, I couldn't resist. I ordered my own and when it came out I dug in. Not only was it delicious, but it was whole wheat too! In my mind that seems kind of wrong, but when it was in my mouth it was so right. Last weekend I took my first stab at making homemade french toast. I even used whole wheat, but I gave it some jazz by adding some cinnamon to the batter. A quick dip in the batter, then on to a hot skillet and I was on my way to some delicious french toast. I ran into a little kink in my plan when I realized we were out of maple syrup (how could this be?!) but after a quick perusal of the pantry, I came up with a substitute, cinnamon honey. Once the toast was all nice and golden, and perhaps a little extra brown around the edges, I drizzled a little honey over top and gave 'er a taste. Yum! I think I may need more french toast in my life! The cinnamon honey gave it an interesting taste, still sweet, just a bit different, which was kind of nice. If you're looking to mix things up a bit, give this a try. whole wheat french toast serves 2 1/3 cup milk 2 eggs 2 Tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon pinch of salt 4 slices wheat bread 2 Tablespoons butter Cinnamon Honey 1/4 cup honey 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 Whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a shallow bowl. 2 Dip a slice of bread in the batter and flip to soak the other side.

Enjoy!
