Description
A delicious and protein-packed twist on classic French toast, perfect for a satisfying breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 scoops vanilla protein powder – about 45 grams
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6–8 slices brioche bread – or bread of choice
- 2–4 tablespoons butter – for cooking the French toast (you can also use cooking spray)
- Maple syrup
- Fresh berries
- Greek yogurt
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Then add in the protein powder and cinnamon. Whisk well until fully combined and smooth and most of the protein powder is dissolved in the batter.
- Dip each slice into the egg mixture, letting it soak for a few seconds on each side. Ensure the bread is fully coated in the egg mixture but not very soggy. Then transfer the soaked bread to a clean plate or baking sheet.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a pat or two of butter. Once the butter is melted, place the soaked bread 1-2 slices at a time into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the cooked pieces of toast from the pan, add more butter if needed, and continue until you have cooked all of the French toast.
- Serve hot, topped with maple syrup, Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and a dusting of powdered sugar or whatever topping you prefer, and enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe can be customized with different types of bread and toppings.
- For a healthier alternative, consider using whole grain bread.
- Ensure not to over-soak the bread to avoid sogginess.
