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

- Syrup:

Step 1:
Mix eggs, orange juice, 1/2 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.
Step 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.
