My alarm did not go off this morning! Or rather, a user malfunction occurred 
Good thing I didn’t have anywhere to be, but it meant my run was delayed by an hour – hence the late post!
I ran my usual 4 mile loop, a little slower and clunkier than usual, but that’s all cool.
Since thinking about french toast last night, I had it on the brain my whole run!! I dipped a slice of High Five in a whisked egg with a splash of milk and then plopped that on a hot skillet smothered in some coconut oil.
Toppings included a banana, browed on the other side of the pan, plus raspberries, coconut, chia seeds, butterscotch chips (nothing healthy about them other than their delicious taste) and vanilla almond butter by Naturally Nutty.
Coconut pouching tea on the side – this is coming OpenSky and one of the few non-black teas that I have really loved! It’s got flavor without body, which is unusual.
I have two articles to write today and a handful of follow-ups to handle. Plus errands to run. Busy busy beer bee!

Like always your breakfasts make my mouth water!
This looks like the perfect breakfast to fuel you through a busy day
Yumm! Another delicious and pretty breakfast. Having something yummy to look fwd to always helps me get through the sub par runs!
Always so jealous of your breakfasts with all that yummy bread you have!
Oh, yum. This french toast looks incredible.
one word: YUMMMM
Looks dee-licious, (even though I have zero appetite this morning!).

This makes me want french toast! Looks delicious
Me too! I was planning ona smoothie, but now I’m heading to the kitchen for French toast!!
I keep forgetting to cook with my coconut oil!
I was just looking at your food gawker last night (or taste spotting I forget), and all your photos are so crisp and bright. These are no exception, they’re gorgeous! I love the pop of deep red on this chilly autumn morning.
Thanks!
Alarm user malfunctions are something I’m good at! Usually, it’s that I leave my phone on silent or my alarm is set for pm :p
This breakfast reminds me of fall as well!
My french toast, no matter how good, will always pale in comparison until I have GH bread to make it on!!
I’m trying to be a good saver lately, but that OpenSky deal tempts me EVERY day. I just adore those mugs. Perfect size, perfect shape (I’m oddly particular when it comes to mugs, haha)
Wow, I was thinking about French Toast my whole run this morning too! I broke out my bread machine for the first time in awhile last night and made a banana wheat bread. I can’t wait to try it in French toast with a browned banana. That is such a great idea!
mmm coconut tea! sounds like the perfect caffine-free alternative
I love French toast! Yours looks much prettier than mine usually does
Hope you have a productive day!
Butterscotch chips! I completly forgot about those amazing things! Great breakfast, love the red backdrop this morning
grrr i hate it when my alarm doesn’t go off! esp on a busy bee day
I’ve been drinking Stash Coconut Mango Oolong Tea lately and it’s so flavorful! I tried regular oolong tea and really disliked it, but this is great. I love your roasted banana idea. Quick & easy!
Mmmmm, burries!
This would totally be motivating me to get through a morning workout!
Butterscotch chips seem like the obvious choice…no shame in that! I just put some peanut butter chips in my greek yogurt mess. Great minds think alike.
How do you come up with such delicious recipes? I’ve already had breakfast but now I’m hungry again.
Hope you have a great day!
Your french toast looks amazing! Good luck getting everything done today!
Will you be at the bakery today?! I’m blogging about my east coast road trip and was hoping to grab lunch at GH! Your blog was the first one I ever read- would love to meet you in person!
What time are you going? I have to run in to pick up some bread – was going to get there around noon?
Yeah! Were in town now!
Cool – I’ll meet you there just after noon. Headed there now.
Wowza, Kath! It sounds like you have loads to do! On the bright side, at least you had a delicious breakfast to fuel you thru your to-do’s!
I must have had the same alarm clock issue this morning because I’m a bit behind, too
Oh well, breakfast was delicious and yours looks wonderful!
I’m going to have to try making french toast! It was my favorite growing up, but I’ve never made it myself! And that tea looks delicious… gonna have to go make some now.
Mmmm browned bananas sound heavenly!
I seem to always be having those ‘user malfunctions’. Hmm…
I spend mornInf runs thinking about breakfast all the time – it makes time fly!
Man oh man do I miss those butterscotch chips or what! They’re healthy for the soul!
Mmm..yummy breakfast! Not at all minding that butterscotch chips. Not one bit
Have fun! Busy days are sometimes the best! Thats how mine is today! Its keeping me productive.
My alarm malfunctioned as well, which means my sunrise did not go off and my body was not happy to be jolted awake in a dark room!
Yum! This looks delicious! I like to spruce up my Kellogg’s Eggo FiberPlus(R) Chocolate Chip Waffles with a little fruit too! Bananas, strawberries, and blackberries – yum! But I’ve never tried them with almond butter. I’ll have to do that next time.
That looks amazing! Thanks to you…and HEAB, I’m always hungry…and inspired to try different combos with my food!
I haven’t had homemade french toast in ages. I think that needs to change.
The fall just says french toast to me. And the season is coming!
Whoa this looks phenomenal. Mouth watering, for sure!
I want what you’re having! And topped by butterscotch chips? I call yummers!
I need to find butterscotch chips on my next shopping trip. It’s one of my favorite flavors!
You are the queeeeen of breakfasts. Love the pan fried bananas!
Sometimes your food needs a less-than-healthy but more-than-delicious topping. That’s chocolate chips for me every time
I snoozed my alarm this morning too, WAY too many times! Guess that means an afternoon yoga class!
I totally had the same alarm clock malfunction this morning, lol. Oops! I also love the line “nothing healthy about them other than their delicious taste”. Too funny!!
Busy beer all the way!
I was just watching “Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives” (don’t judge) and they had french toast with salted caramel banana topping, and now I see this. I think we all know what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow.
mmmm french toast – i have yet to make a good gluten free vegan version!
I need to make more french toast. I forget about making it, and it is so easy to make

Your lucky that you can still get up and get your run in! If I slept late – I”d be whizzing just to get to work and start running errands, etc. Everything gets pushed back
I used to hate french toast growing up – my dad made it for us and I wasn’t really a fan of the egg taste (not sure why – Iove eggs). But I compromised and still ate them – but only if they were drowned in maple syrup
Holy yum! Not only does your breakfast look completely scrumptious, but it’s ridiculously aesthetically pleasing as well! Perfect start to the day!
Ohhh how I miss REAL bread and French toast…mmmm
Your breakfast = flavor bomb!!! Love the combos as always
I haven’t had butterscotch chips in ages… I almost forget what they taste like! Nothing short of delicious I’m sure 
Wow. I’m drooling! This looks amazing!
A loaded french toast is my favorite thing to order for brunch at restaurants but for some reason I don’t make it at home enough. Yours looks awesome… I’m jealous you can make it happen on a a Tuesday!
PS – I’m hosting a pretty sweet giveaway (today only) so check it out if you’re curious
You have such great breakfasts. I love french toast before I went vegan… but the Skinny Bitch cookbook has a kick-butt recipe for a vegan version (it tastes so similar)!
I love bananas foster! I recreate as many desserts as possible using flaming rum, brown sugar, vanilla and more sugar as possible
I love bananas foster “sauce”!
butterscotch chips = I love those too!
I’ve made stuffed french toast three times in the last three days. It’s addicting!
Lol, love the addition of the butterscotch kisses. Those are my favorite.
I love the idea to grill the banana. I’ve never tried that!
that breakfast looks amazing! Now I have french toast on the brain. Maybe I’ll do a breakfast for dinner
Breakfast like a king (queen) is so clearly your modus operandi, and I love it!
Looks great. What do you do with the leftover egg mix that you dip the brad in?
It was all soaked up! I poured the last tbsp or so on top
I’m LOVING the photos today! The red linen with the light blue dishes made for some glorious photos! And the food looked delicious too, of course.
I wish someone would invent healthy butterscotch chips! They would be rich! lol
your breakfast looks FANTABULOUS!! its 12:43 in the morning and suddenly I really want french toast…
Oh man I wish I wasn’t at work right now… I need this in my life!
Your toast looks amazing.
