Description
A bodybuilding-inspired French toast packed with over 43g of protein, using protein powder and Greek yogurt for a muscle-fueling, delicious breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
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)
Instructions
- Add to a large bowl egg, Greek yogurt, ground cinnamon and vanilla extract. Stir well, using either a fork or a whisk.
- Add to the custard protein powder and milk. Whisk until combined in a smooth batter free of lumps. If necessary, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk more.
- Dip each slice of bread into the protein batter until soaked on one side, then flip it with a fork and soak on the other side.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease it with cooking spray or butter. Once the surface is hot, add a soaked slice of bread. Cook for 2 -3 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side for additional 2 minutes. It is ready when golden brown and lightly crispy on the edges.
- Serve protein French toast with your favorite toppings, such as Greek yogurt and sliced banana.
Notes
- *Use a vanilla or unflavored protein powder for best results. Whey or casein work well.
- *For a lower-sugar option, use a sugar-free syrup or top with fruit instead of maple syrup.
- *If batter is too thick, add milk 1 tbsp at a time until it reaches a thick but pourable consistency.
