FLAXSEED-APPLE BATTER:

 

To make the batter: Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and puree

until smooth. Place in a large shallow bowl.

 

Dip 2 slices of bread at a time into the batter to coat evenly. In a large

saute pan or skillet, cook the bread in the oil over medium heat on both

sides until lightly brown. Or, cook the bread in a dry nonstick pan. Repeat

with the remianing bread. Serve 2 slices per serving with 1/2 cup of the

apple compote.

 

Makes 4 servings.

 

NOTE: " The flaxseeds in the batter give this French toast an eggy quality

that's missing in a lot of vegan recipes. Don't skip the compote; it's a

perfect complement and easy to make, too. "

I know that flaxseed has become very popular now but men should be careful

about eating it. Something in flaxseed has been shown to accelerate the

growth of prostate cancer so it is not a good idea for everybody.
