Breakfast treats


  •    French Toast WW-friendly: I actually made this one before the cheesecake, so I already had 2 egg yolks sitting in the fridge by then cause this one calls for 2 egg WHITES.

I used our regular 1% milk and whatever bread we had that was not the low-cal in the recipe.


















  • monkey bread muffins: These didn't quite turn out right. I'll attribute most of that to making them pretty late at night. First off I used sugar-free regular pancake syrup and the only reduced-fat dough I found happened to be Buttermilk. 
    • ...so somehow one can of dough wasn't perforated right and I couldn't really see where to tear it and then I went through both cans dividing it into only 2 & rolling the bits into balls & into the sprinkle-sugar mixture before I remembered that it says to divide each "strip" of dough into THREE equal pieces!! Therefore I was out of dough before I was a little more than half done filling the 12 cups (muffin pans)-- red alert to my brain haha. I kind of sorted it out in the end but the portions weren't quite the same. 
    • It calls for 2 Tbs of cinnamon to be split into 2 different parts. I would recommend using a lot less! I had a lot of the cinnamon-sugar mixture leftover after rolling the dough in it. Then right before you put it in the oven you're supposed to sprinkle the second half of the cinnamon over the muffins. I don't know if it's because I ended up having different portions in each cup or what, but I had a ridiculous amount of cinnamon on each one & it was overwhelming. I would have reduced it to at LEAST half of that last T called for in the recipe. I was worried about the amount of butter-syrup too once it was distributed, but be assured it does soak in eventually if you let them sit for awhile (I made them at night, tried one that was more liquidy and then the one I had in the morning was great)............ No picture (because they all got eaten too fast), but they pretty much look the same
