I love everything about fall, but mostly the flavors that come along with it. Lets be honest here, apples and pumpkin have to be at the top of the list when it comes to fall favorite flavors! I wanted to make a recipe incorporation both of them because why not? The result is a delicious unquie take on a breakfast classic, French toast. this is completely healthy and filling! No added sugar or cream or crap or artifical stuff here! I made this using ThinSlim bread! Only 50 calories per slice and no artifical ingredients! No preservatives and Non-GMO! And for all you clean eating college students out there, this beauty was made in my dorm room!
