Sugar Free Baked French Toast with Streusel Topping

 

 

Saturday was a beautiful day here - I worked in the yard cleaning up leaves and sticks and then spent the rest of the day sitting on my patio enjoying just being outside in the sun. But, all good things must end and since the forecast was predicting rain, all day on Sunday, I knew I would want something warm and cozy for breakfast.

I found a loaf of French bread in the freezer and used a combination of various french toast recipes that I adapted and turned into a healthier and sugar free version by using fat free milk and Splenda Brown Sugar. I find that now and then, breakfast can be my indulgence for the day when using a sugar substitute. Two pieces of this yummy french toast with a little sugar free syrup and my carb count remained in control.
