Main Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole Wheat Bread (56g)
- 2 Tbsp Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 11g)
- 3 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (45ml)
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg White (31g)
- ⅛ tsp Cinnamon (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a large ramekin to prevent sticking during baking.
- Prepare Bread: Cut the whole wheat bread into 1-inch cubes to ensure even soaking and baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the vanilla protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, egg, egg white, and cinnamon. Blend until the mixture is smooth, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Combine Bread and Batter: Gently add the bread cubes to the batter in the bowl, mixing gently with a large spoon to coat all bread pieces well without squishing them.
- Transfer to Ramekin: Pour the bread and batter mixture into the prepared ramekin, making sure the bread is evenly submerged and cover with any remaining liquid.
- Bake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. After 12 minutes, cover the ramekin with foil to prevent the top from burning. Bake until the mixture is set to the top and the bread is slightly crisp on top. Test doneness by inserting a tester; it should come out clean and dry.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked French toast to cool for a few minutes before topping with fresh berries and maple syrup. Serve warm for a satisfying and protein-rich breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute the vanilla protein powder with your favorite protein powder, such as plant-based if desired.
- Using egg whites enhances protein while reducing fat and cholesterol content.
- Cinnamon is optional but adds a warm, cozy flavor to the bake.
- If you do not have a blender, whisk the wet ingredients thoroughly by hand.
- Feel free to add nuts or seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
- For a dairy-free version, ensure your protein powder is dairy-free and use almond milk as listed.
