OATMEAL FRENCH TOAST (FTDI)
MooMoo Jackson Style
Ingredients:
1 cup ROLLED oats made into actual oatmeal (made the day before creating your French Toast)
Egg White Wash Ingredients (for coating French Toast):
1 Egg White
1 tsp MyoFX Vanilla Protein Powder
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1 packet 100% Natural Stevia
Instructions: PREHEAT OVEN TO 305 degrees
1. Prepare 1 cup of oatmeal as you typically would when making regular oatmeal (not too runny). Use rolled (old fashioned) oats for best results.
2. Pour your hot made oatmeal into a 9x9 square pan. When it cools to touch, press it firmly and pack it down well into the bottom of the pan. Then put it in the refrigerator overnight to allow it to solidify and become solid.
3. The next day, when you're ready to make your French Toast, combine all the egg white wash ingredients together well in a flat dish.
4. Cut the solid oatmeal (from the day prior) into bread shaped squares then carefully dip them into the egg white wash (coat all sides) as you would do to bread when making typical French
Toast.
5. "Fry" the French toast slices in a HOT skillet sprayed with zero calorie non-stick cooking spray. Cook them for 3-5mins on each side.
6. Transfer the "fried" French Toast slices into a baking dish (lay flat) and bake at 350 degrees for approx 25mins until cooked through. WALAAH!
**Top with Walden Farms zero calorie Pancake Syrup if you like! Sift a little bit of Stevia on top!
Portion Info: Weigh your uncooked oats PRIOR to cooking so you know how many carb portions you'll have. There isn't enough protein in the one egg white and 1 tsp protein powder to count it as a protein portion. Make sure to still eat protein with this meal!
RECIPE Q&A's:
Q: How do I know I'm eating the correct carb portion?
A: Oatmeal is weighed UNCOOKED and RAW. Make sure to weigh your 1 cup oats PRIOR to making your oatmeal to know how many carb portions you have in this dish. Once your oatmeal is cooked you'll know how many portions to cut it into. (Carb portions: Women 2oz, Men 3oz)
Q: How do I count the egg white and the tsp of protein powder in this recipe?
A: It isn't enough protein to count it as a protein portion. You'll need to still eat your protein portion with these. A little bit of extra protein in this recipe won't hinder your weight loss results.
Q: How do I make regular oatmeal like it says to do in step one of this recipe?
A: The easiest way is to just follow the directions on the oatmeal container. I usually do 50/50 oats and water, boil the water on high heat, add the oats, turn the heat down to med/low and cook for 5mins uncovered, remove from heat and cover for 5mins.
Q: What kind of Oatmeal should I use?
A: Rolled Oats (or Old Fashioned) give the best results with this recipe (any brand). Do not use quick or instant oats if you are FTDI).
Q: Can I use a different flavor Protein Powder if I don't have Vanilla?
A: You can if you want to. With Vanilla it tastes most like French Toast. With other flavor protein powders it still tastes good.
Q: Are Walden Farms products FTDI? Where can I buy them?
A: Yes! As long as it is a zero calorie condiment it is FTDI. See your Condiments and Drinks page in you Camp Bible for info. I buy them at Stater Brothers, Albertsons, Trader Joe's, Clark's Nutrition, Sprouts, Whole Food Stores, or online.
Q: Does the Walden Farms Pancake Syrup taste good?
A: Some say yes it's awesome and some say yuck! I personally like the pancake syrup! Try for yourself!
