Cooking steps

1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, protein powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully combined. Ensure there are no lumps in the protein powder for best texture.
2

Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat with butter or nonstick cooking spray, making sure the surface is evenly greased.
3

Dip each slice of whole wheat bread into the protein egg mixture, letting it soak for about 10 seconds per side, ensuring even absorption but not to the point of sogginess.
4

Place the soaked bread slices on the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, watching for golden brown coloring, then flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes. Adjust heat slightly lower if the bread browns too quickly.
5

Transfer the cooked French toast slices to a plate and serve immediately, optionally sprinkling extra cinnamon on top or serving with berries for added freshness.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The core ingredient that boosts both the flavor and protein content is the vanilla protein powder, which is whisked into the egg wash — this makes the French toast not only macro-friendly but also helps create a creamy interior.

Q. Which ingredient has the biggest impact on flavor?

The ground cinnamon adds a classic warmth to the dish, but the vanilla extract complements both the cinnamon and the protein powder, giving a comforting and balanced flavor to each bite.

Q. How do I prevent French toast from getting soggy?

Make sure to soak the bread slices for only about 10 seconds per side in the egg and protein mixture—just long enough to absorb but not fall apart. Also, use medium heat and don't overcrowd the skillet for best results.

Q. What's the protein to carb ratio per serving, and how many calories are in one portion?

Each serving provides 27 grams of protein and 28 grams of carbohydrates, with protein accounting for 34% of total calories and carbs for 35%. There are 320 kcal in every 180-gram serving.
