Step by step process for making High Protein French Toast

How to Make High Protein French Toast

  1. Whisk. Blend egg whites, protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow dish until smooth.
  2. Soak. Dip each bread slice into the batter for 15 seconds per side, making sure it absorbs the mixture.
  3. Cook. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with cooking spray. Cook each slice for 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve. Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of sugar-free syrup, or peanut butter.

Tips for the Best High Protein French Toast

  • Use thick-cut bread so it holds up to the heavy batter without falling apart.
  • Vanilla protein powder works best. Chocolate changes the flavor significantly.
  • Don’t oversoak the bread. 15 seconds per side is enough.
  • Medium heat is key. Too hot and the outside burns while the inside stays raw.
  • Greek yogurt in the batter adds creaminess and extra protein.

Fun Variations to Try

  • Use cinnamon raisin bread for extra sweetness.
  • Make overnight French toast by soaking the bread in the batter overnight and baking at 350F for 25 minutes.
  • Top with cottage cheese and berries for even more protein.
  • Use chocolate protein powder with banana topping for a dessert-style version.
  • Make mini French toast sticks with the bread cut into strips.
