Description
A protein-packed twist on traditional French toast, featuring vanilla and cinnamon for a delicious breakfast treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 6 large egg whites (or 1/2 cup of liquid egg whites)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla whey or your favorite flavor, or pea protein)
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (optional)
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 9 slices of your favorite high protein bread
- 1 to 2 tablespoon butter or olive oil spray
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla in a large shallow dish. If using protein powder, add it and whisk until combined.
- Heat a large pan or griddle to medium heat and grease with butter or olive oil spray.
- Soak two pieces of bread in the egg mixture for about 1 minute each, flipping to coat both sides.
- Cook soaked slices in the hot pan for 4 to 5 minutes, flipping halfway until golden and crispy.
- Repeat with remaining bread until all slices are cooked.
- Serve warm, topped with Greek yogurt, maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, and a dash of cinnamon.
Notes
For fluffier French toast, let the soaked bread sit for an additional minute before cooking. Adjust the heat as needed for even cooking.
