In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, orange zest, and cinnamon until blended.

Stir in slivered almonds.

Cut a pocket in the side of each slice of bread.

Fill each bread slice with 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg substitute, milk, and vanilla extract.

Dip both sides of the stuffed bread into the egg mixture.

Cook on a greased hot griddle until golden brown on both sides.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch.

Stir in water and maple syrup until smooth.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then cook and stir for 1-2 minutes until thickened.

Stir in frozen mixed berries.

Return the sauce to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5-8 minutes until heated through.

Serve the French toast with the maple berry sauce.
