About

Healthier French Toast Bake reduces the butter and sugar content of the classic dish but retains that custard sweetness and tenderness that draws you to French Toast in the first place! A sprinkling of crunchy walnuts also helps up the protein content, filling you up and keeping you full of energy throughout your morning. Healthier French Toast Bake isn't just a boast; it's an integral part of any healthy morning!
