Carrot French Toast- SCD Phase 1 Friendly


This recipe is a modified version of the Carrot Pancake Recipe that can be found on TheSCDGirl blog

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups cooked, drained carrots
4 eggs
4 tspn honey
1 tspn vanilla
1/2 tspn nutmeg
1 tspn cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt

makes about 8 "french toast" pieces
Instructions:
Boil the carrots until they are soft enough to be cut with a butter knife while still floating in the water; drain.  Try to remove as much water from the carrots as possible, then puree.  Add remaining ingredients and mix.  Take a spoonful of the mixture and spread it to about 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick on a piece of parchment paper.  Microwave for 2 minutes, or until the carrot french toast sticks together in a patty.  Let cool for 1-2 minutes, drizzle with honey and cinnamon if desired, and enjoy!

Other tips:  Process the carrots in bulk and freeze 1 1/2 cup quantities.  Then, at the beginning of the week, make the batter.  Keep the batter refrigerated, and make yourself 2-3 pieces each morning.  This is a great "on the go" meal that contains a lot of protein and a serving of vegetables.  Not to mention it tastes just like french toast!
