Cinnamon French Toast Muffins…

Do you love French toast? Do hate how fattening they are? Would you like make a low fat- healthy version of French toast that is portable for those hectic Monday mornings?

I found this recipe a few months ago in First for Women magazine. These muffins are tasty, and good for you. They have flaxseed and applesauce in them.  This combination not only boosts your mood,but also revs your energy levels. The best part is they are perfect to hand the kids on the way out of the door to school.

The muffins also have pure maple syrup in them. I would use the pure maple syrup, not Mrs. Butterworths or Logcabin for the following reasons. The fake syrups are made with corn syrup. Real maple syrup is lower in sodium, and the taste is more intense.

The recipe calls for a topping made from heavy cream and maple syrup. Personally, I don’t think the muffins need the topping. I would save the topping for special occasions like a holiday, birthdays, or even when you have guests.
