Enjoy a delicious and protein-packed French toast for brunch. This recipe uses protein powder or egg whites to deliver 30g of protein per serving and can be made in an air fryer or on the stovetop.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices thick-cut bread
  • 1/4 cup egg whites
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • Cooking spray or oil for skillet/air fryer
  • Optional toppings: berries, sugar-free syrup, Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg whites, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined and smooth.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg white mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  3. For skillet method: Heat a lightly oiled or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the coated bread for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. For air fryer method: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated bread in the basket in a single layer. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Using thick-cut bread helps prevent the toast from becoming soggy.
  • Adjust the amount of protein powder based on your preference and the powder’s instructions.
  • Ensure your protein powder is fully dissolved to avoid clumps.
