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!

I keep forgetting to cook with my coconut oil!
katie @KatieDid says
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.
KathEats says
Thanks!
The Purple Carrot says
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
Sara @ Real Fun Food says
This breakfast reminds me of fall as well!
Cait's Plate says
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)
Lindsay @ bikingbeforebed says
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!
Annie says
mmm coconut tea! sounds like the perfect caffine-free alternative
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
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
Carissa says
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!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
Mmmmm, burries!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
This would totally be motivating me to get through a morning workout!
Lindsay @ Lindsay's List says
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.
Jennifer says
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!
Hilliary @ Happily Ever Healthy says
Your french toast looks amazing! Good luck getting everything done today!
Cass says
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!
KathEats says
What time are you going? I have to run in to pick up some bread – was going to get there around noon?
Cass says
Yeah! Were in town now!
KathEats says
Cool – I’ll meet you there just after noon. Headed there now.
Erika @ The Teenage Taste says
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! 🙂
Emily says
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!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
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.
The healthy hipster says
Mmmm browned bananas sound heavenly!
Ashley says
I seem to always be having those ‘user malfunctions’. Hmm…

I spend mornInf runs thinking about breakfast all the time – it makes time fly!

Have fun! Busy days are sometimes the best! Thats how mine is today! Its keeping me productive.
Larbs says
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!
Kati Mora, MS, RD, Kellogg's FiberPlus(R) Wellness Advocate says
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.
G. says
That looks amazing! Thanks to you…and HEAB, I’m always hungry…and inspired to try different combos with my food! 🙂
Alaina says
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!
Stephanie @ StephSnacks says
Whoa this looks phenomenal. Mouth watering, for sure!
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
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!
sarah@spinach and spice says
You are the queeeeen of breakfasts. Love the pan fried bananas!
Shaya (Eye Girl Eats) says
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!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
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!
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
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.
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
mmmm french toast – i have yet to make a good gluten free vegan version!
Angel7 says
I need to make more french toast. I forget about making it, and it is so easy to make 🙂

Baking N Books says
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 🙂
Nikki says
Holy yum! Not only does your breakfast look completely scrumptious, but it’s ridiculously aesthetically pleasing as well! Perfect start to the day!
Ashley says
Ohhh how I miss REAL bread and French toast…mmmm
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
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 🙂
Liz @ Southern Charm says
Wow. I’m drooling! This looks amazing!
Elina (Healthy and Sane) says
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 🙂
VEGirl says
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)!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
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!
Hillary says
I’ve made stuffed french toast three times in the last three days. It’s addicting!
Emily@SavoryandSavage says
Lol, love the addition of the butterscotch kisses. Those are my favorite.
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I love the idea to grill the banana. I’ve never tried that!
maria says
that breakfast looks amazing! Now I have french toast on the brain. Maybe I’ll do a breakfast for dinner 🙂
Hannah says
Breakfast like a king (queen) is so clearly your modus operandi, and I love it!
Ken says
Looks great. What do you do with the leftover egg mix that you dip the brad in?
KathEats says
It was all soaked up! I poured the last tbsp or so on top
Katie says
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. 😉
Abby @ Abz 'n' Oats says
I wish someone would invent healthy butterscotch chips! They would be rich! lol 😉
