Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
Optional Ingredients
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Maple syrup, optional
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the egg, Greek yogurt, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well using a fork or whisk until fully blended.
- Mix Protein Batter: Add the protein powder and milk to the egg mixture. Whisk the ingredients until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps. If the batter is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more milk for desired consistency.
- Soak Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the protein batter, soaking one side thoroughly, then flip using a fork and soak the other side as well.
- Cook French Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter. Once hot, place a soaked bread slice onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes. The toast is ready when it is golden and edges are lightly crispy.
- Serve: Serve the protein French toast with your favorite toppings, such as additional Greek yogurt and sliced banana or maple syrup if desired.

- Protein powder flavor can vary; vanilla or unflavored protein powders work best for this recipe.
- Optional cinnamon and vanilla add aromatic flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
