Makes: 6 servings
For the bread:
1 cup crushed shredded wheat cereal
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup Homemade Vanilla Ensure® Shake**
1/4 cup egg substitute*
2 teaspoons lemon or orange zest
6 pieces whole-wheat bread
For the sauce:
1-3/4 cup fresh blueberries (frozen can be used)
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray generously with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a shallow dish, toss together the cereal and melted butter; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
3. In a large shallow dish, whisk together the Ensure Shake, egg substitute, and zest. Place the bread into the liquid mixture, turning bread slices once and allowing all of the liquid to be absorbed.
4. Dip both sides of the bread into the cereal and place on prepared pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon mixture.
5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
