This is like a baked French Toast that doesn't require overnight soaking. It's quick and easy, too. I figured the carbs because I have Type 2 diabetes: the result made me happy! I divided it into 9 servings, so they are not those typically skimpy servings in most diabetic recipes. 10 carbs per serving isn't too bad for a rich-tasting treat. Enjoy! Note: my carb calculations are for Whey Low Golden, which has 1 net carb per tablespoon.
