Description
A quick and nutritious protein-packed French toast recipe perfect for a high-protein breakfast. This version uses protein powder and almond milk to boost flavor and nutrition while keeping it simple and wholesome.
Ingredients
French Toast Mixture
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 scoop (25-30g) vanilla protein powder (such as Equip)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Bread and Cooking
- 2 slices whole grain or high-protein bread (e.g., Dave’s Killer Bread powerseed bread)
- Cooking spray or a little coconut oil for the pan
Instructions
- Whisk the Batter: In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk together the egg, almond milk, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and pinch of sea salt until smooth and free of clumps.
- Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, allowing it to soak for 15–30 seconds on each side ensuring it absorbs the batter evenly without becoming too soggy.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or coconut oil. Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the slices turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and garnish with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or nut butter. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute the almond milk with any milk of your choice, including dairy or other plant-based milks.
- For a gluten-free version, choose gluten-free bread that holds up well to soaking.
- Adjust cinnamon and vanilla extract to suit your taste preferences.
- Use a nonstick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
- Letting the bread soak too long may result in a soggy texture; 15–30 seconds per side is ideal.
- Toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup complement the protein-rich French toast nicely.
