French Toast with Sauteed Banana

Couldn't you just die reading the title?! I love French toast, but it's definitely not something I eat when trying to be healthy. I can't remember the last time I had it, other than this morning. If you like bananas, this is a fantastic recipe. It's tasty, and filling.  If not, you could just make the French toast section and top it with some fresh strawberries, raspberries, or any other fruit. If you just use plain fruit, you can even afford to add a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

For banana: 
1 medium firm banana
1 tbs sugar
½ tsp lemon juice
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp light butter

1. Peel the banana and cut it on a diagonal, creating ¼-inch-thick slices. Transfer the slices to a medium bowl and add the sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss to coat evenly.
2. Place a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Put in the butter. When it bubbles ever so slightly, add the banana slices. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender and slightly caramelized, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep it warm.

For French toast: 
¼ c fat-free milk
2 tbs egg substitute
1.5 tsp sugar
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp light butter
2 slices whole-wheat bread

1. Mix the milk, egg substitute, sugar, and cinnamon in a large shallow bowl.
2. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Put in the butter.
3. Soak one slice of bread in the egg mixture until just soft, turning once. Let any excess egg mixture drip off and transfer the bread to one side of the skillet. Repeat with the second slice of bread, placing it next to the first slice in the skillet. Cook for 1 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown on both sides.
4. Transfer each piece to a plate and top each with half of the banana mixture.
