Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast

June 6, 2010 by Julie 44 Comments

I woke up this morning to a bug-eyed dog, wagging her tail and breathing heavily in my face. After one big doggie kiss, I bounded out of bead to make a breakfast I thought of as I was falling asleep last night.

Apparently food is the first and last thing on my mind… 😉

French toast may be my favorite breakfast food. When it’s stuffed with sweet treats like bananas or candied pecans, it’s all the better.

Last night as I was going to sleep, I thought about combining my beloved peanut butter with French toast.

This morning, I began by creating a sweet peanut butter filling by combining two tablespoons of Crazy Richard’s natural creamy peanut butter with 10 grams of powdered sugar.

PB + Powdered Sugar

I spread the peanut butter sugar combination on two slices of honey wheat bread and dipped the sandwich in a mixture of Almond Breeze almond milk and egg.

Once the French toast was cooked, I sprinkled it with cinnamon and powdered sugar before topping it with syrup.

Syrup Sweetness

The creamy peanut butter mixture held its own against the cinnamon and egg flavors.

I’m off to change for church!

    Ahhh this looks so delicious!! I rarely eat French toast, and I have no idea why. Especially with peanut butter! My favorite Sunday breakfast is the same as my everyday breakfast, cereal. I do love going to my grandparents’ house occasionally for blueberry pancakes on Sundays near the holidays, though!

    I eat special breakfasts on Saturday mornings because that is when I have the time. I have to get up and get going to volunteer at church pretty early in the morning so I don’t have time to do anything fancier than oatmeal!

    next time you MUST try with a baby schmear of nutella. PB + nutella stuffed french toast is my fave (my brother even adds naners and strawberries, but i like it straight up. PB and J french toast is lovely too!)

    Sunday mornings are the best for leisurely breakfasts. I always eat something hot even in the middle of summer because I actually have the time to use the stove!

    I’ve never made stuffed french toast but this sounds simple and delicious!

    I love French toast, or pancakes with mix-ins such as bananas, blackberries, chocolate chips, or a combo of the above. 🙂

    I had a dream last night that we were both at a blogger conference and were trying to meet up, but you went to bed much earlier than me and we never had the chance to meet! Which is kinda silly since we went to high school together, haha.

    Oh my Julie!!! Whenever I read your posts, my stomach growls so loud and I basically have to sprint to my kitchen to make whatever you made! Hehe!
    It’s really fun, though because you always make/create the most delicious things!

    Does cooking and baking and making up recipes just come naturally to you?

    yummmmmm! i’m not really a huge french toast fan – i think i may have had it a couple of times as a kid and didn’t like it much, so i haven’t really tried it since. i’m sure PB would make i delicious though! my favourite sunday AM breakfasts are pancakes with lots of fruit and yogurt on top.

    Peanut butter french toast!!! Sounds ABSOLUTELY amazing. I do the peanut butter pancake thing allllll the time. Any combo of sweet carbs and pb and banana or cinnamon or what have you probably qualifies as my favorite food.

    This looks ah-maaaaazing! You are brilliant Julie!

    When I was a little girl the only way I would eat french toast was if it was cut up into strips and then I got to drag it through creamy pb. I grew up and learned syrup was delicious, but I still LOVE the cinnamon/pb combo 🙂
