Flaxseed-Apple-Battered French Toast with Warm Apple Compote
Serves 4
Flaxseeds give this morning meal an egg-like quality without added
cholesterol. The compote is a perfect complement and easy to make,
too.
Batter
1 tablespoon flaxseeds
1/2 cup applesauce
2 cups calcium-fortified soymilk
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
8 thick slices whole-grain bread, stale or air-dried overnight
1/4 cup oil (optional)
Warm Apple Compote
3 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into1/4-inch-thick slices
1 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup or Sucanat
1 teaspoon minced orange zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
To make the batter: Combine flaxseeds, applesauce,
soymilk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sea salt in a blender and puree until
smooth. Place in a large shallow bowl. Dip 2 slices of bread at
a time into the batter to coat evenly. In a large sauté pan
or skillet, cook the bread in the oil over medium heat on both sides
until lightly brown. Or, cook the bread in a dry nonstick pan. Repeat
with the remaining bread.
For the warm apple compote: In a large nonreactive
saucepan, combine all the compote ingredients and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces to a light
syrup, about 15 minutes. Serve warm. Store in an airtight container
in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Serve 2 slices per serving with 1/4 cup of the apple compote.
