Ingredients

• 1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 light hot dog bun
• 1 tablespoon reduced-fat peanut butter, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon low-sugar grape jelly or strawberry preserves
• 2 teaspoons light whipped butter or light buttery spread
• Optional toppings: powdered sugar, sugar-free pancake syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
In a wide bowl, mix egg substitute, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Open bun without separating the halves. Spread peanut butter onto one half, top with jelly or preserves, and lightly press to seal. Slice into four “nuggets.”

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add butter and let it coat the bottom. Meanwhile, coat nuggets on all sides with egg mixture.

Cook nuggets, flipping occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Enjoy!
