French Toast Berry Bake

This is a hearty little number, perfect for a Sunday brunch or one of those mornings when you are in the mood to make a more special breakfast.  For those who have a really sweet tooth, the bread and egg are dominant in flavour so it may be worth adding more sweetener if desired. half of the bake is a mere 2 syns when using your healthy B allowance! 

Ingredients:

• 150g berries of choice (1.5 syns cooked)
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp Vanilla Essence
• 1 muller light, vanilla or other flavour
• 3 tbsp sweetener
• small cup skimmed milk - 3.5 syns
• 4 slices of wholemeal bread (from a 400g loaf)
• 2 tbsp cinnamon

Method:

1. Whisk the eggs in a bowl.
2. Add the vanilla essence, cinnamon, muller light, milk and sweetener and mix well.
3. Slice the bread into small squares
4. Spray an ovenproof dish with frylight and place the bread into the dish.
5. Pour the mix on top of the bread and make sure everything is well dunked!
6. Cover and allow to soak for 20 mins
7. Scatter the berries on top and bake for 20-30 minutes.

Granular Sweeteners:

Although most spoonable/granular sweeteners* are Syn-free, to make them granular, they do rely on a carrier which contains calories. For the odd teaspoon or sprinkle, the calories and the syns are truly negligible. However if you're using larger amounts to sweeten Fromage Frais, stewed fruit ect, it could be having an impact on your weightloss. So it is recommend that if you plan to use several tablespoons you count it as 1/2 Syn per tablespoon.

 * this doesn't effect table/drop sweeteners.
