Blueberry & Banana Bread French Toast with Homemade Sausage Patty & Spinach

So, here is something that was born of a couple of other things ha!
For the Turkey Sausage meat recipe, read previous posts, here is the French Toast recipe...

* 2 Slices of Your Homemade Blueberry & Banana Protein Bread
* 2 Egg Whites
* 1/2 cup almond milk
* A few drops of vanilla
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon

(Side note - you can add honey to your liquid mixture if you like a little sweetness, I chose not)

* Heat a good non stick frying pan on low heat.
* Whisk together your egg whites, almond milk, vanilla and cinnamon (and honey if using).
* Pour onto a plate, and lay your slices of bread into the mixture.
* Allow each side to absorb some liquid a little, then flip over and do the same on the other side.
* Place in your frying pan! Give them a good few mins on either side.

* Add your Turkey Sausage Patties and a handful of fresh spinach!

Paleo Banana, Sweet Potato & Cranberry Breakfast Muffins

So, before my mission of health, I used to bake... ALOT! I find it very therapeutic... It's great now I'm really enjoying it again, and discovering new healthy recipes makes my day!
Here's one I free handed this morning!

- 2 Bananas mashed
- 3 egg whites
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 2 cups grated Sweet Potato
- 1/4 cup fresh cranberries sliced
- 1 heaped cup Almond Flour (ground almonds)
- 1tsp baking powder
- 1tsp cinnamon
- 1/4tsp ground allspice
- 1Tbsp Natural unbleached peanut butter (crunchy or smooth, your choice)
- Natural Honey

- Pre-heat oven to 180'c.
- Mash your bananas and add the egg whites and coconut oil and stir well.
- Add cranberries and sweet potato and mix again.
- Now add the dry ingredients and mix again.
- The consistency should be quite thick, for added goodness omit a little sweet potato for milled flaxseed. (I meant to do this but forgot, that's what you get for winging it ha!)
- Lastly add your PB and mix VERY well to make sure it spreads evenly throughout.
- Make sure you have a silicone muffin pan, or buy the good, brown muffin wrappers.
- Use an ice cream scoop for even muffins, scoop mixture into cases or pan and tap to flatten down.
- DRIZZLE (not pour! Little drizzle!) some honey over the top of each muffin.
- Bake for 20-25mins until browned on top and firmish to the touch (they will be sticky muffins, that's half of the fun)
- LEAVE TO COOL until they've set a little, or you wont get them out of the pan in one piece. (yeah, it's hard to wait but very worth it)
- Try and allow them cooling time on a rack too once removed, but if you can't then hey, go for it! I've already eaten 3 ha!

Enjoy!

Paleo Banana Pancakes

Ok, you have to believe me when I say that these in no way taste like they're healthy! Every time since I created the recipe I have to make sure I didn't put something 'bad' in without paying attention! THAT'S how amazing they are! AND GUILT FREE!
These grain free, dairy free pancakes are by no means 'settling'... I would take these over the regular bad boys any day!

Lauren's Paleo Banana Pancakes

- 1 Banana Mashed
- 1 Egg White
- 1 cup of Ground Almonds/ Almond Flour
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder

* Heat really good non stick pan on LOW...
* Mash banana in a bowl, add egg white and mix well.
* Add almond flour, cinnamon and baking powder and mix really well until pretty much smooth (the mixture should be quite thick)
* Scoop into 4 pancakes and cook on LOW till bubbles appear all the way across the top of the pancakes, then flip and cook the other side.

Serve with sliced banana between the layers, or microwave heated raspberries :)
