I've loved to cook since I was a child. Creating in the kitchen and, believe it or not, a stress reliever for me. Breakfast is my absolute meal to prepare. I'll share a few of my favorite breakfast recipes, all done sugar free or no sugar added.
For a fancy brunch, try Apple Pie Stuffed French Toast. Peel and chop 4-5 medium apples. Place in large pot with one cup unsweetened apple juice, one cup sugar substitute, and 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice. Cook over medium heat until apples are soft and you have the consistency of apple sauce. Taste here. If you like more spice or more sugar, add it now. You can also add more apple juice if too thick. While apples are cooking, slice 8 pieces of french bread. Put a tablespoonful of apple mixture between two slices of bread, like a sandwich. Dip this "sandwich" in a mixture of one egg beaten with 4 tablespoons half and half plus one teaspoon of vanilla. When both sides are coated, place on hot griddle or in a hot pan. Brown on both sides. Transfer to serving plate and repeat process until all "sandwiches" are browned. Top each one with additional spoonful of apple mixture and one tablespoonful of sugar free whipped topping. If your family likes raisins and nuts, add them to the apple mixture as it cooks.
Next, try my Sweetly Spiced Turkey Bacon. On lightly greased baking sheet, lay slices of turkey bacon flat. Mix two tablespoons of finely crushed pecans, one tablespoon freshly ground black pepper, and 3 tablespoons brown sugar substitute. Sprinkle nut mixture over bacon slices and bake 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees or until bacon is cooked. with Apple Pie Stuffed French Toast and you'll be a star!
My daughter likes Red Velvet Waffles and these are a hit. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups baking mix, 1/2 cup baking cocoa, 1 cup sugar substitute, 1 egg, and 1 cup milk until thoroughly mixed. Add enough red food coloring to color mixture. Ladle onto hot waffle maker. Continue until all waffles are made. in another bowl place 8 oz, block light cream cheese, softened, 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice, enough milk to thin out cream cheese (about 3-4 tablespoons), and 1/2 cup sugar substitute. Mix until creamy. Serve one spoonful over hot waffle. It tastes like cheesecake for breakfast.
I've created several really good waffle and pancake recipes that my family really enjoys just by using some of their favorite foods. Use baking mix and try adding your family's favorite fruits and spices for your own waffle ideas. Hint: mine loves bananas and cinnamon or sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie spice. The possibilities are truly endless!
