Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla in a large shallow dish or casserole dish. If you are adding protein powder, add it in this step and whisk until completely combined.
- Before dipping your bread slices, heat a large pan or pancake griddle to medium heat so it is ready to go. Grease the pan with butter or olive oil spray.
- Working with two pieces of bread at a time, soak each slice in the egg mixture. Make sure to turn them over, so you coat both sides. I like to let mine soak up the mixture for about 1 minute.
- Once the greased pan is hot, add the soaked bread slices to the pan and cook for a total of 4 - 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. The french toast should be golden with crispy edges. Repeat this process until you use all your bread.
- Serve warm topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt, your favorite maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, and/or a dash of cinnamon. Enjoy!
Notes
- Bread: You can use any bread for this high-protein french toast recipe. My favorite options are white, whole wheat, whole grain, gluten-free, high-protein, low-carb, or challah.
- Protein Powder: I used vanilla whey, but feel free to use your favorite flavor or pea protein powder. I left a list of flavor variations in the blog post above.
- Make it Vegan: You can make this high-protein french toast vegan by omitting the eggs and using 3 – 4 flax eggs instead. If you do this, I recommend adding an extra half scoop of pea protein.
- Make Ahead of Time: You can make french toast ahead of time for meal prep. Simply prepare the french toast as directed; let it cool, then store it in an airtight bag or container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When you are ready to enjoy it, reheat the french toast in a toaster (like you are toasting regular bread) or in the microwave for 30 – 90 seconds until it is warm (it will not be as crispy in the microwave).
- Storing: For best results, keep protein french toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Allow the french toast to cool, then place individual slices in freezer-safe bags and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
- Reheating: For best results, reheat the protein french toast in a toaster, toaster oven, or preheated oven to 350°F. You can use the microwave, but the french toast will not be crispy.
- One serving is 3 slices of french toast.
- The nutritional information calculated below uses classic white bread. If you want more protein, use high protein bread. You can also use whole wheat, gluten-free, or low-carb bread.
