Plating 2 1/2 slices with 1/4 cup sugar free table syrup, this recipe becomes roughly equivalent in calories to Jenny Craig's French Toast, including their syrup, and makes 3 servings with half a slice leftover. It's perfect for planning on one serving in the morning, and saving two more servings for later in the week or for the freezer. This recipe is for people who can do without the berries in Jenny Craigs' version. I use allspice instead of the cinamon as in Jenny Craig's version, but you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon cinamon for 1/2 teaspoon of allspice in the full recipe and the calories will be the same. This recipe also highlights a softer chewing bread for those like me who prefer it. French Toast is tradionally made with stale bread, so don't worry if yours has gone that way. I can't however gaurantee your safety using moldy bread. Moldy is not the same thing as stale. LOLIf you use Spring Tree Low Calorie Sugar Free table syrup like it states in the recipe, one serving of syrup is only 30 calories per 1/4 cup, leaving 5 calories leftover for 1/2 teaspoon of powdered sugar. Doing it exactly this way will bring it to 275 calories, same as the Jenny Craig version. It's fine to use Log Cabin table syrup if you prefer; their low calorie sugar free version is 35 calories per 1/4 cup. You can use real maple syrup but to get it down to 35 calories you'd have to restrict yourself to 2 teaspoons.
