A lovely Mother’s Day treat! 🙂
French Toast in a Mug
Serves 1 = 1CC, ¼ Milk, 1 Prot, 1 Fruit
1.5 slices Albany Ultima Bread, cut into bite sized pieces
¼ cup fat free milk
1 egg
¼ teaspoon mixed spice
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
A pinch of salt
1 sachet sweetener
20g raisins
In a microwavable mug, mix egg, milk, honey, spices, raisins and salt together well (otherwise the egg will separate). Add bread pieces and press it down until submerged within the liquid. Microwave for 2 minutes in total – stopping every 30 seconds for 10 seconds (so that it doesn’t boil over) – make sure you use a large enough mug. Let it cool for a couple of minutes, sprinkling additional cinnamon on top if preferred.
