Ingredients

  • 4 slices Dave's Killer Wheat Bread dried out at least overnight and sliced into 1" strips
  • 1/3 cup Califia Farms Almond Milk Holiday Nog
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 scoop Cellucor Cinnamon Swirl whey protein
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Compote Ingredients:
  • 2 persimmons peeled and chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp arrowroot flour
  • Pinch of each: cinnamon, ground cloves, ginger
  • Optional: small pinch of cardamom

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small pan, combine persimmon, syrup, and lemon juice.  Bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower heat to a simmer and add spices.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk water and arrowroot flour, then stir into persimmon mixture.  Continue to simmer for another 3-5 minutes until thickened and transfer to a resealable container and allow to cool before placing in refrigerator (this can be done ahead of time).
  3. Whisk all toast ingredients except bread until smooth.  Arrange sliced, dried out bread in a flat bottom dish (I used a 6 cup rectangular Pyrex dish) and pour egg mixture on top.  Soak the bread for 5-10 minutes until egg mixture is absorbed but bread is not overly soggy.
  4. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.  Cook toast sticks in batches until golden brown on both sides.  You may need to turn down heat to medium after 1st batch.
  5. Serve French toast sticks with persimmon compote.
