Oh my goodness, this is like french toast cake. It's absolutely delicious! The crunchy top, the fluffy, gooey inside... yummmmmm!!! I added oats to mine because I wanted the extra slow-digesting carbs for my pre-workout meal (I get REALLY hungry, otherwise!).  The macros are better without the oats and the texture is slightly better - but they're both wonderful and filling!

6 Slices of Light Bread (I used Saralee 45- substitute with similar macro bread or Ezekiel bread)

2 TSP Cinnamon
2 TBSP Stevia (more if you have a sweet tooth)
1 TSP Vanilla Extract
1 TSP Maple or Rum Extract
1/2 TSP Butter Extract
