Breakfast. Not something I’ve been the greatest at lately.
I was on a great streak of bagel + cream cheese + avocado + tomato slices or a fried egg around 10am each day. I ate it for close to three weeks straight. Then I ran out of bagels and got desperate. Cold pizza at 11:30am? Works. Cold pizza at 3:30pm the same day? Works, but wow.
So I’ve kind of been craving a real breakfast. One that can really be counted as breakfast. Like a hearty bowl of oats. Or something a little ‘fancier’ like french toast.
Specifically, this french toast. It’s stuffed with healthy almond butter (high in vitamin E, good-for-you fats and protein) and when made with sprouted bread, it’s a breakfast full of protein and fiber that will keep you more-than-satisfied until lunch.
Protein.
Fiber.
Whole grains.
Healthy fats.
It’s the best way to start your day!

This is EXACTLY what I wish I had had for breakfast this morning! I really should make more time in the morning so that I can eat something like this rather than making a smoothie for the road. If only I could get an extra hour built into the day!

Healthy meets sweet and savory. Love it! But what about home made maple syrup? My family and I boiled 30 gallons of maple sap this spring and ended up with the most glorius tasting maple syrup you can ever imagine. I highly recommend it. I think I’ll use your recipe this weekend and give our syrup something worthy to coat!

Hey Emily #HUGSSSSSSSSS
I am already in love with the delicious recipes on your site.
Although I don’t hate ‘Almond Butter’, I don’t crush on it either – it’s creamier cousin, Peanut Butter, has stolen my heart! BUT this recipe is a fabulous way to have your ‘almond’ and LOVE eating it too 😉
Thank you

Made this for breakfast last weekend and it was absolutely delicious! Accidentally soaked my first batch for too long which made it more soggy than usual (which I like) but I followed the recipe exactly for the second batch and it came out nice & crisp!
