Equipment
- 1 Shallow Dish or Bowl For dipping the bread
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Non-Stick Skillet or Griddle
- 1 Spatula For flipping French toast
- 1 Knife For slicing banana
Ingredients
Main
- 1.0 fl oz Buttermilk lowfat
- 1.0 large Egg fresh, whole, raw
- 0.5 tsp Pepper red or cayenne
- 1.0 dash Salt
- 1.0 medium 7" to 7-7/8" long Banana, fresh
- 1.0 serving Log Cabin Sugar Free Syrup

Instructions
- In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the lowfat buttermilk, fresh whole egg, cayenne pepper, and a dash of salt until the mixture is well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- While the skillet heats, slice the fresh banana into rounds or desired pieces for topping.
- Dip each slice of low-carb bread into the prepared egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated but not overly saturated, which could make them soggy.
- Carefully place the coated bread slices onto the preheated skillet.
- Cook for 2-4 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the French toast from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate.
- Top the cooked French toast with the sliced banana.
- Drizzle generously with sugar-free syrup before serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your easy, early morning French toast.
Notes
Using low-carb bread may require a slightly longer soak to ensure even saturation, as it can be denser than traditional bread. Be mindful of the cayenne pepper; a small dash adds an interesting warmth, but too much will overpower the delicate flavors. Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract to the batter for classic French toast aromatics. Ensure your skillet is heated to medium-low to prevent burning while allowing the interior to cook through. Serve immediately with fresh banana slices and the sugar-free syrup for optimal enjoyment.
