โญ Buttermilk (Best Fat-Free Option)
3 tablespoons per 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, plus 1 tablespoon melted butterButtermilk provides acidity and tang similar to Greek yogurt but is much thinner and lower in fat. Adding melted butter compensates for the fat content, helping the batter cling better to the bread.
Mix buttermilk with melted butter before combining with eggs and other ingredients. Be mindful that the batter will be thinner, so soak bread briefly to avoid sogginess.
The final French toast will be slightly lighter and less creamy, with a tangy flavor but a less custardy texture compared to Greek yogurt.
