Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, protein powder, and cinnamon until completely smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter and allow it to melt, coating the cooking surface evenly.
- Dip each slice of whole grain bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Let excess mixture drip off briefly.
- Place the coated bread slices onto the heated buttered skillet. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Check that the French toast is cooked through by ensuring the center is not soggy and the exterior is a rich, golden color.
- Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates. Optional: Keep warm in a low-temperature oven while preparing remaining slices.
- Drizzle maple syrup over the French toast just before serving. Garnish with additional cinnamon if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your protein-enhanced breakfast.
Tips
- Protein Powder Selection: Choose a vanilla or unflavored protein powder for the best taste integration. Whey or casein protein work exceptionally well in this recipe.
- Bread Matters: Use day-old whole grain bread for better absorption of the egg mixture. Fresh bread can become too soggy.
- Whisking Technique: Whisk the egg mixture thoroughly to prevent protein powder clumps. Use a hand mixer or blender if you want extra smoothness.
- Heat Control: Keep your skillet at medium heat to prevent burning while ensuring a crispy, golden exterior.
- Avoid Soggy Toast: Don't soak the bread too long in the egg mixture. A quick dip is sufficient to coat and flavor the bread.
- Serving Suggestion: For extra protein, consider topping with Greek yogurt, nuts, or additional protein powder sprinkle.
- Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the egg mixture the night before to save morning prep time.
