Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices of whole grain bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk (or almond milk)
- 1 scoop of protein powder
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- Cooking spray or a small amount of butter
Instructions
- Prepare egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray or add a small amount of butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Dip the bread: Dip each slice of whole grain bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly while allowing excess to drip off.
- Cook the French toast: Place the coated bread slices on the heated skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or nut butters for extra taste and nutrition.
Notes
- You can substitute regular milk with almond milk or any plant-based milk of choice for a dairy-free option.
- Choose a protein powder flavor that complements the recipe, such as vanilla or unflavored, to maintain the taste balance.
- For crispier French toast, use slightly stale whole grain bread slices.
- Adjust cooking time if your skillet heats faster or slower to avoid burning.
- This recipe can be doubled easily for larger servings.
