Steps:
- For the French toast: Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the bread slices on the diagonal in 3 rows in the dish, slightly overlapping the slices. Whisk together the evaporated milk, milk, vanilla and almond extracts, cinnamon, salt and eggs until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, taking care to evenly coat the bread. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the foil from the baking dish and spoon any remaining egg mixture over the top of the bread pieces to assure they are evenly moistened.
- For the topping: Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the bread. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup and the cinnamon. Bake until golden, about 40 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup and serve.

YUMMY LOW-FAT FRENCH TOAST
Here's a super tasty and yummy low fat French toast recipe. My family loves French toast and this recipe is good for you as well as quick and easy. My mom always fixed French toast for us in the skillet. For those that aren't worrying about weight, you could use 6-8 eggs and regular milk.... We always topped this with powdered sugar when growing up.

Steps:
- Preheat a greased griddle or frying pan (not too hot or they will burn before they cook).
- Puree (in a food processor, blender, or smoothie maker) the mashed banana, milk, vanilla, and banana flavour until the banana is completely smooth with no lumps. Add melted margarine and egg whites and pulse until completely incorporated.
- Sift the next 3 ingredients (flour through cinnamon) in a small bowl.
- Transfer wet ingredients into a larger bowl, and whisk dry ingredients into wets, and ignore small flour lumps.
- NOTE: Be sure to whisk batter before dipping each batch of toast. Also, dont add any extra banana or milk to the batter (it will result in soggy toast).
- Dip each side of the toast in the batter for a couple of seconds, and allow some of the excess batter to drip off. (for the last piece of bread you will likely have to swab up the remaining batter. Don't worry if the toast tears, just stick it back together on the frying pan).
- Cook each side just over a minute, or until browned to your desired colour.
- Serve with lots of maple syrup. Refrigerate the leftovers and put them in the toaster the next day. OR cool on a cooking cooling rack, and when completely cool, wrap in foil and freeze. Warm in microwave then toast and enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Low-Fat French Toast:
- Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread will hold up better to the cooking process and won't fall apart. - Don't soak the bread for too long. If you soak the bread for too long, it will become too soggy and won't cook evenly. - Use a non-stick skillet. This will help to prevent the French toast from sticking and burning. - Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will allow the French toast to cook evenly without burning. - Flip the French toast only once. Flipping the French toast too many times will break it up. - Serve the French toast immediately. French toast is best served hot and fresh.Conclusion:
Low-fat French toast is a delicious and healthy breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying breakfast that is also good for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give low-fat French toast a try!
