Enjoy a protein-packed French toast for brunch, made with protein powder or egg whites, offering 30g of protein per serving. This recipe provides options for both air fryer and skillet preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices thick-cut bread
  • 1 scoop 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 skillet/air fryer
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs (or egg whites), milk, protein powder, 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 coated 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 air fryer 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.

Notes

  • Using thick-cut bread helps prevent the toast from becoming soggy.
  • Adjust the amount of milk if the batter seems too thick or too thin.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
  • Ensure your protein powder is fully incorporated to avoid clumps.
