What do you use in place of syrup on your french toast?!

Sugar free syrup made with splenda. Taste just as good but has much lower calories! I just recently found it myself.0

Make your own fruit puree to pour over it. It'll up the fiber content and it's natural and healthy.0

I would replace the french toast with tofu.
Oh wait... nevermind...0 -
gosh, I love french toast. Apple butter and /or peanut butter is really good on it! I also have pumpkin butter - yum!0

I grab some organic frozen berries, microwave them for a minute and smush to make a hot berry compote, then grill up some banana slices and then sprinkle everything with cinnamon YUM!0

use REAL maple syrup - 1 tablespoon has 52 calories, it has some good nutrients in it, and once you get into the real thing, you will never want to eat any of those fake colored sugar-syrups! Plus, a tablespoon may feel like enough when you have the real thing.0

, I always ask for Cary's Sugar-Free Syrup. Only 30 calories I think... Maybe it was 15... For 1/4 cup. Tastes better than regular syrup in my opinion.
Me too!!0 -
Okay now I want french toast!!!! Yum Yum. About 2 weeks made with french bread and cinnamon!! Yummmy!!0

baked apples and cinnamon, sugar free syrup, or the fat free lo-cal redi whip are my favorites!0

i just use regular syrup; i only use a Tbsp, though. Why deprive what you like? For me, French toast and waffles are a treat, since i seldom have time to make them. So when i do have them, i add the syrup.
Although, i suppose for me, it is hardly cutting back on the syrup, because i was never wild about it anyway, and always only used about a Tbsp just enough to say it is there.0 -
I still use syrup, but instead I put it in a dipping bowl and just dip my french toast into it.0

I use Maple Grove Sugar-Free syrup. Veeeerrry low in calories and no sugar.0

I am with you! I don't want to eat artificial crap - I'd rather have a small amount of the real thing. I also make blueberry sauce for french toast. It is pretty high in sugar although I don't fill cup completely but it is full of blueberries which are super healthy and we pick organic ones in the summer to freeze for winter. I will go publish recipe it is called "Susan's Blueberry Sauce"0 -
This fall I made some apple butter. All that's in it is apples and spices (although the store bought brands are usually full of sugar as well). It's a lot thicker than apple sauce but not as thick as syrup. That is really good on pancakes or french toast.
Oooh that sounds fabulous! I receive a TON (well not litterally, but a lot) of apples from my sister-in-law every year from her tree and I'm always looking for different ways to use them!
Do you have a recipe for this apple butter? I'd like to try to make it!0 -
:happy: Hi there!!! Actually I'm one of the sweet lovers!!! I can tell you I do wish to have a french toast but I don't. I have a goal and I think you can just add some organic honey. It taste very good. I get organic food in Whole Foods. If you have a place like that close to you, It's better to go food shopping there and will see more results in your calorie counter. Good luck!!!0

Probably a dumb question... but how do you make this fruit puree? Do you add anything to the fruit when you puree it?0 -

Nope...never a dumb question. I just puree fruits that have a high liquid content already (Melons, strawberries, frozen blueberries). If you were to choose somthing like bananas...they would puree but it would be much more like a spread...but that would probably be really tasty as well.
I also don't eat traditional french toast, lol. No eggs for me.
If anyone doesn't eat eggs...here's a good recipe:
2 cups vanilla nondairy milk
4 to 5 tablespoons flour
3 teaspoons vegan sugar
dash cinnamon
4 bread slices
nonstick spray
powdered sugar, to taste
Directions:
1. In a bowl, mix together nondairy milk, flour, sugar, and cinnamon to form a batter.
2. Dip bread in batter and fry in lightly greased pan until golden brown.
3. Serve sprinkled with vegan powdered sugar.
Makes: 4 servings, Preparation time: 15 minutes, Cooking time: 10 minutes0 -
Canned peaches (in juice) on top (This is how my mom always served french toast, so syrup was a weird condiment that my husband introduced. Pancakes got concord grape jam and a fried egg.)
I now add a tablespoon of syrup to the egg/milk/vanilla/cinnamon I soak the bread in, then cook it on the griddle, then serve it covered in fruit (either heated blueberries, or sliced bananas, or peaches....strawberries if they're in season.)0 -
We love applesauce on our french toast! Even my kids ask for applesauce...0
