The Art Of French Toast
Hello friends, on the blog today I’m re-sharing a yummy breakfast favorite, Blueberry French Toast! Just a BIG thank you to all of my lovely readers who have sent me encouraging messages and comments about going back to school. It’s going well and the teacher and students are terrific! (smile) Okay on to the recipe!
Julia Child perfected the art of French Cooking and I’m working on The Art Of French Toast. (smile) I’ve shared my simple dairy free french toast recipe with you in the past ( you can find it below, if you missed it. But, this weekend I was playing around a bit and created this yummy sugar free blueberry sauce and added it to some fun star shaped French toast.
What You Need
- 3 Cups frozen blueberries (or fresh)
- 1 Cup water
- 1/2 Cup Splenda (or sugar)
- 1 Rounded Tbsp. corn starch
- Saucepan
- Small bowl
- Whisk
- Cookie cutters (optional)
Before You Start :In a small bowl stir together corn starch and 3 Tbsp. of water mix well to dissolve and set aside. You can prepare your French toast while the blueberry sauce is cooking or make it before the toast is ready ( you’ll need to re-heat it.)
Let’s Make It! In a saucepan combine 2 cups blueberries, 1/2 cup of water and Splenda (or sugar) stir to combine. Heat over medium-high heat until you achieve a low boil (about 3-4 minutes) some blueberries will start to break apart. Add prepared corn starch and stir to combine. Bring back to a boil stir gently and reduce heat to low and simmer 3-5 minutes, or until sauce reaches a consistency similar to syrup. Note- you may need to add water, just a little bit, (about a tablespoon at a time) if the blueberry sauce gets too thick. Remove blueberry sauce from heat. Add the remaining blueberries and stir gently. Serve poured over the top of the French toast or on the side.
Makes enough blueberry sauce for 4-6 generous servings
*Katie’s Tidbits, this is a wonderful sauce recipe for crepes too! ♥
