A simple, delicious recipe for protein-packed French toast, perfect for a healthy brunch. This recipe uses protein powder or egg whites to boost the protein content to 30g per serving and can be made in an air fryer or on the skillet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices thick-cut bread
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 2 large eggs or 1/2 cup egg whites
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or butter for the pan/air fryer

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the protein powder, eggs (or egg whites), milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and smooth.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the protein mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  3. For Skillet: Heat a lightly oiled or buttered skillet over medium heat. Cook the bread for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. For Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. Place the coated bread slices in the basket in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or Greek yogurt.

Notes

  • For a thicker batter, add a little more protein powder.
  • Use day-old bread for best results as it absorbs the batter better.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your appliance.
  • Consider adding a meal planning service to your routine for easy weeknight dinners.
