It is Secret Recipe Club time again! This month I was assigned This Mama Cooks. Anne-Marie has a very extensive website full of great recipes as well tips, coupons, and other deals. Anne-Marie also has a whole section of Weight Watchers recipes!
My son is a huge fan of french toast. He loves it topped with strawberries, so when I saw this, I immediately knew he would love it! One Saturday morning I made this for him. He was in heaven. My husband wasn’t sure how the strawberries and peanut butter and maple syrup would go together, but it worked. My 7 year old likes crunchy peanut butter, so that is what I used, but you could use whatever you like.
This is a very filling and somewhat decadent feeling breakfast. It comes together rather quickly (not much longer than making traditional french toast). It would be great for a weekend breakfast, or even a fun Thanksgiving breakfast.
Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 8 slices whole grain bread
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat griddle or non stick skillet to 350 degrees (about medium high).
- In a small sauce pan heat syrup over low heat. Add the strawberries, and mix to coat. Let sit over low heat until ready to eat.
- In a medium sized bowl beat together eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Spread out slices of bread and top each slice with 1 Tbls of peanut butter (I used crunchy). Sandwich bread together, to make 4 sandwiches.
- Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place on the griddle, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, slice in half, and top with strawberry mixture to serve.

What a unique spin on French Toast! Delish!!
Love french toast. Love peanut butter. Together? I’m intrigued but hesitant.
I never had French toast with peanut butter-looks so yummy! Great recipe for SRC:)
Wow! This looks like the perfect decadent breakfast! You have one lucky son!
Oh wow, not that is a fun idea for breakfast!
Wow, this is a fun idea for breakfast, as well as delicious;-)
Unlike your son, I’m not a huge fan of French toast, but I have to tell you, that dish looks amazing. I think I would love to have that plopped down in front of me some morning. Wow.
I adore stuffed french toast, but I’ve never thought to use peanut butter inside – this sounds fantastic!! Love the strawberries too, I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for some decent ones at the store.
Love peanut butter in french toast! And love that you topped with strawberries!
I have to admit that I’d be iffy about peanut butter and strawberries, too. Sounds weird. But looks SO good and I’m sure it was!
