I love all types of special days! Valentines Day is no exception!

We celebrate as a family, we don’t go out for dinner, rarely, as we don’t have a network of babysitters or any family close by and the kiddos are still a bit young to sit still in a fancy restaurant! They prefer to run amok after the novelty of colouring in has worn off! I wish more places would invest in kids play areas! In the country I was born in, EVERY single restaurant has a play area, and they are AMAZING!! Most of them have wonderful ladies looking after the kids in them too!! Honestly, you can sit and have a glass of wine in peace and quite knowing your children are having fun and you don’t have to wash any dishes afterwards!!! WIN WIN

SO, we do Valentines Day at home, pretty much for the entire day!

Lets start with Keto French Toast for breakfast, shall we!

INGREDIENTS

1 x pouch of Flour and Dough Keto Baking Mix - I used Sunflower Date and Walnut here

1 x egg

Coconut oil, butter, oil for frying

That’s it! Oh, and you will need a pan too :)

TIPS AND TRICKS

Because these loaves are not very high, no gluten, no yeast, they don’t rise heaps! So, I halved my loaf tin, I just added some tinfoil to corner it off! I had a smaller loaf, but it made it allot higher!

This is a 10 cm heart cookie cutter. I got 8 heart shaped bread slices from this loaf.

Don’t waste your cut outs! I love to bake my extra pieces, tossed in olive oil, and use them as croutons! What would your idea be? I did see a realy cute idea for using crusts the other day! In quick - they roll them up and add one roll to the bottom of a muffin tin, add garlic butter on top, grill it, then add pizza sauce and cheese and grill it again. I do wonder if this would work, let me know if you try it!

STORAGE

I actualy don’t know how long it would last, as we made them and then ate them!

TOPPINGS
I think Bob’s your Uncle here!

I love french toast with chutney and cheese

My kids love it with syrup

Hubby likes to add a fried egg, cheese and tomatoe

But, I can imagine, any fruits, syrups, jams would all be amazing!

METHOD
Make up your bread the way it describes on the back of the baking mix packet

Now, do make your loaf tin smaller, like I explained above

Let your loaf cool down completely and make sure your heart cookie cutter fits your loaf. You could also try cutting it into slices by cutting your loaf through the top and not the conventional way from the sides!

Cut out as many heart shapes as you can, I did flip my heart over to get the most out of each slice and the baking mix!

Coat in your egg mixture, and fry until the egg is slightly browned!

Top with your favorite toppings!!
