1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup crushed multi-grain flakes cereal (about 2 cups uncrushed)

4 (2-ounce) slices whole-wheat cinnamon raisin bread

Directions

Before you begin: Wash your hands.

  1. Whisk together yogurt and fruit spread. Set aside.
  2. Whisk together eggs, eggs whites, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a shallow dish. Transfer cereal to a separate shallow dish.
