This savory comforting Peanut Butter and Blueberry French Toast is a fun treat for the weekend. It is healthy and satisfying!
I am a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. Most days I enjoy a smoothie with a frozen banana, spinach, peanut butter, and chocolate Vega One
Some days I want to have a leisurely breakfast with something sweet. Those are the days when I reach for Banana Pancakes or French toast. It was one of those days when I made this Peanut Butter and Blueberry French Toast.
I included peanut butter for a boost of protein so that I stay full longer, otherwise I crash a hour or two after eating French toast. I used blueberries and mashed them to give a fruity jam quality without the sugar of jam. Then I sweetened some blueberry juice with agave syrup for dipping my French toast sandwich in, and to give it a sweet note.

It is Northern Bakehouse millet chia bread. I highly recommend it.

Willow! This sounds and looks fantastic! Beautiful photo. Not great for me though. Day four of a five day juice reprieve.
