Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup (125 mL) orange juice
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon, divided
  • 1 tsp (5mL) vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) brown sugar
  • 2 tsp (10mL) orange zest
  • 1 ⅓ cups (325 mL) Robin Hood® or Old Mill® Oats
  • 8 slices, firm whole wheat bread
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) butter, divided
  • Syrup:

  • ½ cup (125 mL) Smucker's® Pure Strawberry Jam
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) orange zest

Directions

  1. Mix eggs, orange juice, ½ tsp (2 mL) cinnamon and next 3 ingredients in shallow bowl. Combine oats and remaining cinnamon in another shallow bowl. Dip bread into egg mixture, then into oats, coating both sides.
  2. Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Place 4 slices of bread in pan. Cook until brown and starting to puff, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook 1-2 minutes longer. Repeat with 4 other slices. Meanwhile, combine juice and jam in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally until reduced to a thin syrup, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and add zest. Drizzle over warm French toast and serve.
