Description

This High Protein French Toast recipe offers a delicious and nutritious twist on the classic breakfast favorite by incorporating protein powder into the batter. Made with whole wheat bread and flavored with cinnamon and vanilla, this dish is perfect for a healthy and filling morning meal. Topped with fresh berries, powdered sugar, butter, or maple syrup, it’s a flavorful way to fuel your day with extra protein.

Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Batter

  • 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

Toppings

  • Fresh berries (optional)
  • Powdered sugar (optional)
  • Butter (optional)
  • Maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a medium-size wide bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla protein powder, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract until fully combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Soak the bread: Dip each slice of whole wheat bread into the batter on both sides, allowing it to soak up a good amount of the mixture for maximum flavor and moisture.
  3. Heat the pan: Preheat a large skillet or electric skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray, oil, or butter to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the French toast: Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. If the toast is browning too quickly, reduce the heat to prevent burning.
  5. Serve: Remove from the pan and top with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, powdered sugar, butter, or maple syrup. Serve warm for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Protein powder texture varies by brand; if the batter feels too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it for easier soaking.
  • Cooking over medium-low heat helps prevent the French toast from browning too quickly, as protein powder can cause faster browning than traditional recipes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat frozen or refrigerated French toast in a toaster or oven to maintain crispness and texture.
