Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup egg whites
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, protein powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth. This is your custard base.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Dip each slice of bread into the protein custard, letting it soak for about 15-20 seconds per side. You want it coated but not soggy.
- Place the coated bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately. Try topping with fresh berries or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a little less milk if your protein powder is very fine.
- The ratio of eggs to egg whites helps keep the calories lower while boosting the protein content.
- If the bread tears, you soaked it too long. Adjust your soaking time next time.
