Banana-Stuffed French Toast
1 cup mashed ripe banana 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice 4 (1-inch-thick) slices Italian bread 1 cup skim milk 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 4 large egg whites 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons margarine, divided 1/2 cup maple syrup
Combine banana and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir well; set aside. Cut bread slices in half crosswise; cut a slit through cut sides of each piece of bread to form a pocket. Stuff 2 tablespoons banana mixture into pocket of each piece of bread.
Combine milk and next 6 ingredients (milk through eggs) in a large shallow dish, and stir well with a whisk. Arrange stuffed bread pieces in a single layer in dish, turning to coat. Cover and chill 45 minutes or until milk mixture is absorbed, turning bread pieces over after 20 minutes.
