High Protein French Toast
Description
This recipe uses gluten-free bread slices soaked in a well-mixed batter containing eggs, a scoop of protein powder, dairy-free yogurt, maple syrup, optional cinnamon, and almond milk. The protein powder adds nutritional content and flavor, with vanilla or caramel varieties suggested for best taste. The mixture is thoroughly scrambled to blend the ingredients and help distribute the protein powder evenly.
The bread slices are dipped on both sides into the egg mixture, ensuring maximum absorption. They are then cooked in a non-stick pan over medium heat until the first side turns a light brown, flipped, and cooked further until the second side is crisp and golden. The resulting toast offers a good balance of crispy edges and a tender inside, supplemented by the protein-rich batter.
This French toast is best enjoyed fresh but can also be prepared in advance for meal prep. Storing in an airtight container and reheating with a light toast refreshes the texture. Protein powder choice affects absorption and texture; whey protein powder absorbs less liquid, allowing more bread to be dipped without soaking too much.
Ingredients
- 2 lices gluten free bread
- 1 tablespoon protein powder flavor of choice
- 1 egg
- 1 tbs dairy-free yogurt
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
- 2 tbs almond milk unsweetened
Instructions
- Heat a non stick pan over medium heat (a little over medium).
- Scramble the eggs, yogurt, maple syrup, and almond milk well. Add the cinnamon if using.
- Add in the chocolate protein powder and keep scrambling as you do.
- Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture making sure to coat both sides.
- Once the pan is hot, place the bread in it to cook. Flip when the bottom has turned a slight brown.
- Cook until the other side is crispy and brown.
- Top with your favorites.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of bread slices between 2-3 based on protein powder type and batter absorption.
- Changing protein powder flavor, like vanilla or caramel, alters the final taste and can enhance flavor.
- Whey protein powder absorbs less liquid, allowing up to three bread slices, though this has not been tested explicitly.
- Protein French toast is best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container and lightly toasted later for quick breakfasts.
- Vegan protein powder may clump; blending the batter can help achieve smooth consistency.
