High-Protein French Toast
A light, fluffy, high-protein take on classic French toast made with egg whites and (optional) protein powder — perfect for a quick breakfast or macro-friendly meal prep.
Ingredients
- 4 slices low-calorie or high-protein bread (like Dave’s Killer Bread Thin-Sliced or Hero Bread)
- 3/4 cup liquid egg whites
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or any milk)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or butter for the pan
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, Greek yogurt, berries, nut butter
Instructions
- Preheat a nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with spray or butter.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg whites, protein powder, almond milk, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.
- Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, coating both sides well.
- Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Pto Tips: Whisk the mixture well so the protein powder dissolves completely — clumps can burn on the pan. Use a drier bread if you want extra crisp edges.
