Here is another twist on the classic and delicious french toast. You can follow the recipe here and simply replace the cream cheese and strawberries with loads of Nutella.
Sprinkle with powder sugar and loads of fruit and maple syrup.

YOU WILL NEED (TO MAKE ENOUGH FOR TWO):
- One bramley apple - peeled and cut into chunks
- 150g fresh cranberries
- 150 g golden caster sugar
- Greek yogurt
- Granola and maple syrup for topings
This is a super easy recipe and makes for a delicious and healthy breakfast. I used ingredients I had left over from Christmas and New Year's eve. Your sauce can also be used to be served with different meats.
1. Add all the ingredients in a saucepan, squeeze the juice from half an orange (optional) and add a splash of water. Put the pan on the heat and bring to the boil. Simmer gently until the cranberries have burst and the apple has softened.
1 bis. For those of you using the Thermomix; simply place all ingredients into mixing bowl and cook for 8 min/100C/speed 2. Then chop for 10 sec/speed 6.
2. Boil down until the mixture thickens slightly, then take off the heat and leave to cool.
3. In individual little pots, add one 1/4 cup yogurt layer and layer with 1/4 cup cranberry sauce and repeat.
4. Heat some granola in a pan with a good drizzle of maple syrup until caramelised and add as toping.

You will need (to make enough for two):
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 30 grams butter (melted and cooled)
- 300 ml milk
- 225 grams plain flour or self-raising flour for extra fluffiness
- Fruit and maple syrup for the toppings
1. Put all the ingredients into a blender and mix it all together.
2. Heat your griddle or pan on the stove.
3. Add the mix to make medium-size pancakes (two at a time in a large pan) and flip over when the upper side of the pancake starts bubbling.
These are always a nice twist on the traditional crepes and a great start to the day. Stack them up, drizzle maple syrup all over the, add some fruit and sprinkle with icing sugar. The best part is that they take five minutes to make and serve.

We ate so many pancakes and waffles over the last year that I have started adding french toast into the mix more often - as well as some more healthy options of course.
This is your traditional french toast (see recipe here - minus the stuffing part) but instead of adding maple syrup I added a couple of teaspoons of butter brandy and some finely chopped bananas; perfect for a Christmas breakfast.
Brandy butter, for those of you who are not British, is traditional used at christmas time and added to mince pies of Christmas pudding - instead of cream or ice cream. It is delicious and add a nice kick to the sweetness of the french toast. You can buy it a M&S and Waitrose, or you can make it yourself (it is dead easy).
