Mocha-Almond French Toast

Mother's Day always conjures breakfast in bed for me, which is funny since we grew up in a family that never ate breakfast in bed. Sitting at the kitchen table already washed and dressed for the day, I'd (Kl) wonder dreamily over the lucky kids who could linger longer in bed, slurping on their cereal. The clang of the spoon on the table brought my attention to reality and off my sister and I'd go to catch the school bus. Mother's Day evokes "special" breakfasts like french toast with maple syrup, waffles piled high with strawberries and whipped cream, or egg souffles rising loftily to the special occasion. Our dad, usually the griller or margarita-maker, would make weekend treats of pancakes or waffles. French toast was a rare appearance, and to make up for it, my sister and I make our own mocha-almond version a regular dish.
Mocha-Almond French Toast
1 egg
1/3c almond breeze
1 sweetener
1/3c coffee, flavored (I love the berry-flavored coffee)
4 slices of bread
Heat a griddle pan, whisk the wet ingredients, and quickly submerge bread slices in the mixture. Fry bread slices on each side about 4 minutes, serve at once with a dash of cinnamon.
