Serves: 4
Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• Eggs, 4
• Wholemeal bread, 8 slices
• Quick cok oatmeal, 1⅓ cup (325ml)
• Orange juice (no added sugar / freshly squeezed), ½ cup (125ml)
• Cinnamon, divided, 1 tsp (5ml)
• Vanilla extract, 1 tsp (5ml)
• Orange zest, 2 tsp (10ml)
• Trans-fat free margarine, 3 tbsp (45ml)

Syrup/Sauce

• Orange juice, ½ cup (125ml)
• Strawberry jam (no added sugar), ½ cup (125ml)
• Orange zest, 1 tbsp (15ml)

Method

1. Mix eggs, orange juice, ½ tsp (2mL) of cinnamon, vanilla extract, and orange zest in a shallow bowl. Combine the oats and remaining cinnamon in another shallow bowl. Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture, then into oats, coating both sides.
2. Melt the margarine in a large frying pan over medium heat. Place 2 slices of bread in a pan. Cook for about 2 minutes until bread browns and starts to puff up. Turn over and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat same steps with the other 6 slices.
3. Meanwhile, combine juice and jam in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium and cook without the lid on for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until reduced to a thin syrup. Remove from the heat and add zest. Drizzle over warm toast and serve.

Healthy Tips:

• Orange juice – use the no added sugar version or even better, freshly squeezed! Zest the orange before juicing it to use the zest for the recipe.
• Strawberry jam – use the no added sugar version.
• Serve syrup on the side to limit sugar intake.
