this french toast is simple, delicious and great to make ahead and freeze for easy weekday breakfasts!

As promised, I’ve pulled together the recipe for this easy whole grain french toast from my IGTV video!

As I mentioned in my video, I love this recipe because it’s:

  • Simple
  • Delicious
  • Giving you whole grains & a little protein (plus more if you add fruit & yogurt toppings!)

It makes a great weekend breakfast (and if you double the batch you can freeze the leftovers to pull out for easy morning meals during the week!). If you missed it, I also shared the recipe for my french toast roll-ups, which are kid-friendly, delicious and portable!
