Our little Scout loves to be able to eat the same foods that we eat, and I always try to make an effort to cook the same thing for us as a family. The Scout as you may know by now, is highly allergic to milk and eggs. This is a little experiment that I came up with on my own, and she really likes it.
Dairy Free/Egg Free French Toast
Dairy Free Wheat Bread - I like wheat because it's healthier. I love Sara Lee products because they are so great with their labeling and also make quite a bit of their products without milk. Read your labels people!
1/2 - 1 whole banana
soy milk or vanilla soy milk- no measurements available. I just eye it.
1 tablespoon of dairy free margarine - I use Nucoa.
Topping: Cinnamon; dairy free maple syrup; powdered sugar
Grab out your food processor or blender. Slice up the banana and throw it into the processor along with a little bit of the soy milk. You will have to experiment with this to find the right consistency. Puree away until the bananas and soy milk are well combined. You are looking for a close consistency of regular french toast batter that is made with eggs and milk. Keep trying until you get it close. If you don't have a food processor or a blender, you can use a fork or a mixer. Once that is done, put the tablespoon of margarine on your grill pan or fry pan and melt it. Dip your pieces of bread into mixture and onto the pan. Keep an eye on your bread, you don't want to burn it. Pull it off, sprinkle some cinnamon, dairy-free maple syrup or powdered sugar and dig in.
