Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 slices bread (whole-grain or gluten-free if necessary)
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup (30 g) protein powder
  • ¼ cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) milk of choice (more if necessary)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Beat egg: Crack the egg into a large bowl and beat it lightly to prepare for mixing.
  2. Mix base ingredients: Add Greek yogurt, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the beaten egg. Stir well using a fork or whisk until combined smoothly.
  3. Whisk batter: Incorporate the protein powder and milk into the egg mixture. Whisk thoroughly to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter. Add an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk if the batter is too thick.
  4. Soak bread slices: Dip each slice of bread into the protein batter. Soak one side thoroughly, then flip with a fork and soak the other side until fully coated but not overly soggy.
  5. Cook the French toast: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter. Once hot, place one soaked slice onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side until golden brown and edges are slightly crispy.
  6. Flip and finish cooking: Carefully turn the French toast slice over and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until equally golden and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately with optional toppings such as Greek yogurt, sliced banana, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Use whole-grain or gluten-free bread to suit dietary needs.
  • Choose a protein powder flavor that complements the recipe, such as vanilla or unflavored.
  • If the batter is too thick, add more milk to achieve a good soaking consistency.
  • Optional toppings like fruit or maple syrup enhance flavor but add extra calories.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure the toast cooks through properly.
