Enjoy a protein-packed French toast for brunch, made with protein powder or egg whites for a healthy start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices thick-cut bread
  • 1/4 cup egg whites (or 1 scoop protein powder)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or butter for skillet

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg whites (or protein powder), milk, egg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled or buttered skillet over medium heat.
  4. Cook the French toast for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Alternatively, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. Place the coated bread slices in the basket and air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a thicker batter, use slightly less milk.
  • Add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter for extra creaminess and protein.
  • Serve with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
