Lemon cranberry banana bread

I tried this last week and tweaked a few things and it really didn't work out so I decided to try it again today.

I printed out this recipe and just tweaked a couple of things today. I replaced the sugar with sweetener and used lemon extract instead of orange. With the tweaks and making 3 mini loaves that had 6 slices each they came out to 1pp/slice.

Think of the possibilities: cocoa/white chocolate chip, banana pecan, pumpkin cranberry, lemon poppyseed etc

Apple cranberry baked French toast/bread pudding!

Apple cranberry baked French toast/bread pudding! Simply Filling

2 slices of Ezekiel bread cut into cubes in Canada Ezekiel bread is SF or use whatever bread you use
1 egg, 2 egg whites or 1/4c egg substitute
1-2 Tbsp skim milk or fat free cream you want it wet but not totally swimming in liquid a heavier bread will need a bit more more. I used Ezekiel bread and needed 3 Tbsp but if you're using light bread probably 1 tbsp.
1 tsp vanilla extract
sweetener or sugar free syrup amount depending on how sweet you like things
1/2 small apple chopped up if you want really soft apple put them in the microwave for 45 seconds before adding them to the recipe. I liked mine with a little crunch still.
1/4c cranberries
I like to sprinkle either 1/2 tsp of sugar or 1 tsp maple syrup, or sf syrup 0pp on top to make it nice and crusty

Put the cubed bread into a bowl.
In another small bowl I beat the egg added the milk and sweetener and vanilla. Mix and add to the bread cubes. Toss with a spoon till all the cubes are wet and the liquid has been absorbed. If too dry add another Tbsp of milk. Now add the apple and the cranberries. Let sit for a couple of minutes. Stir again. Put into an oven proof dish. Sprinkle the sugar or drizzle the maple syrup or sf syrup on top.

I popped it in my toaster oven at 375 and cooked until starting to brown and crispy on top :) 20-25 minutes. I did drizzle some sugar free pancake syrup on top after it came out.

Enjoy!

Pumpkin cranberry stuffed French toast Simply Filling

2 slices Ezekiel bread which is simply filling in Canada or any other simply filling type bread

2 tbsp Kraft ultra low fat cream cheese
a few shakes of pumpkin pie spice
just a pinch  of sweetener

2 tbsp cranberry sauce that I made using sweetener instead of sugar 0pp or if using Canned cranberry sauce 1 1/2 Tbsp would be 1pp

1/4c pumpkin
1/4c egg substitute or 1 egg or 2 egg whites
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
sweetener I used 1/2 packet

sugar free pancake syrup or your choice of drizzle mine is 0pp

Mix the pumpkin/egg/pumpkin spice and sweetener and put into a container you can dip your bread into. I use a square plastic container.

Mix the cream cheese/pumpkin pie spice/sweetener. Or just sprinkle the sweetener and pumpkin spice on the cream cheese after you've spread it on the bread.

Take your 2 slices of bread and spread each with the cream cheese mixture. Spread the cranberry sauce on one side and top with the other slice of bread so the cranberry/cream cheese is in the middle.

Carefully put the sandwich in the pumpkin mixture and let sit a minute then carefully turn over and let the other side sit a minute.

In a frying pan spray with non stick and put the sandwich in the pan that has been heated to medium hot. When browned on one side carefully turn over and brown the other side.

Cut in half and drizzle with syrup.

Apple cranberry oatmeal breakfast parfait

Apple Cranberry breakfast oatmeal parfait: 5pp or 100% Simply Filling
1/3c oats
1/2c light yoghurt (I used light vanilla)
1 apple chopped
cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
I had some leftover sugar free cranberry sauce
1/2 banana mashed
stevia or other sweetener

Add water to the oats and cook until softened. I put mine in the microwave for 45 seconds. Add the mashed banana. Put aside. Add sweetener if you want I find it sweet enough without.

Take the apple and cinnamon and cook it in the  microwave for a minute or two until softened. Time would depend upon the type of apple you use. I added a couple of drops of stevia.

I used vanilla yogurt and added a little maple extract.

Now put half the yogurt in the bottom of whatever container/bowl you are using, then put 1/2 the oatmeal mixture, then 1/2 the apple mixture, I also put a little cranberry sauce on top (maybe a tbsp). Repeat.

I haven't made this the night before but I'm sure you could.
