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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
