Description
A light, sweet, and protein‑packed take on classic French toast — perfect for a fueling breakfast or post‑workout meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices whole‑grain or sprouted bread
- 4 large eggs (or 3 eggs + 1/4 cup egg whites)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or a small amount of butter/oil for the pan
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, banana slices, Greek yogurt, honey/maple syrup, nut butter
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Heat a non‑stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a bit of butter/oil.
- Dip each slice of bread into the batter, allowing both sides to soak up the mixture.
- Place soaked bread slices onto the heated skillet and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining bread slices, adjusting heat as needed to avoid burning.
- Serve warm with your choice of toppings like fresh berries, banana, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey/maple syrup.
Notes
- Use high‑fiber bread to boost satiety and nutritional value.
- For extra sweetness without added sugar, add a sprinkle of stevia or cinnamon sugar alternative.
- Make it dairy‑free with plant‑based milk and dairy‑free yogurt toppings.
- Leftovers keep in the fridge and can be reheated in a toaster or skillet.
