Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup liquid egg whites
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder about 30 g
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk or skim milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 4 slice whole grain bread thick-cut if possible
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter or nonstick spray
- 0.5 cup nonfat Greek yogurt optional, for serving
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries optional
- 2 tablespoon sugar-free maple syrup optional
- 0.5 teaspoon powdered sugar optional, for dusting
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, protein powder, almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until smooth and no protein powder clumps remain.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter and swirl to coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of bread into the custard for 5 to 10 seconds per side, letting excess drip back into the bowl.
- Place soaked bread on the hot skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden and set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through.
- Transfer cooked slices to a plate and repeat with remaining bread, adding a small dab of butter or a quick spray of oil if the pan looks dry.
- Serve warm topped with Greek yogurt, berries, and a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup. Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
For best texture, use day-old or slightly dried bread so it holds more custard. If your protein powder is very sweet, reduce or skip syrup. To meal-prep, cook slices, cool, then refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze with parchment between slices; reheat in a toaster or oven.
