High Protein French Toast
This high protein French toast recipe is made with a scoop of protein powder for a filling, balanced breakfast that is easy to make and tastes just like the classic.
Servings: 6 slices
Ingredients
- 6 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Fresh berries, powdered sugar, butter, or maple syrup for topping
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl (preferably a wide bowl with low sides), combine the milk, eggs, protein powder, cinnamon, and vanilla. Whisk together until fully combined.
- In batches, soak each piece of bread in the mixture on each side. Be sure to allow the bread to soak up a good amount of the mixture.
- Heat a large pan or electric skillet over medium-low heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray or lightly coat in oil or butter.
- Cook the french toast 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. If browning too fast, lower the heat.
- Top with your favorite french toast toppings like butter, maple syrup and powdered sugar.
Notes
- Protein powder texture: Different protein powders behave differently. Make sure to whisk the batter completely. If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.
- Cooking temperature: Cook over medium-low heat to prevent over-browning, since protein powder can brown faster than traditional French toast.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven for the best texture.
