This High Protein French Toast recipe offers a nutritious and delicious twist on the classic breakfast dish by incorporating protein powder and Greek yogurt, making it perfect for a filling morning meal or post-workout fuel.

Ingredients

Scale

Batter

  • 3 slices whole-grain bread (or gluten-free)
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup (50g) protein powder
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt plus extra for topping
  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk of choice
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • ½ banana, sliced
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (optional)

Cooking

  • Butter or cooking spray for greasing skillet

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Gradually stir in the protein powder and milk of choice until the batter reaches a uniform consistency without lumps.
  2. Dip the bread: Take each slice of bread and dip both sides into the batter, ensuring that the bread is fully coated but not soaked to sogginess.
  3. Cook the French toast: Heat a greased skillet over medium heat, using butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden brown color and are cooked through.
  4. Assemble and serve: Stack the cooked French toast slices on a plate. Add a generous dollop of Greek yogurt on top, then arrange the banana slices over the yogurt. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your high-protein breakfast.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free bread to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • Adjust the protein powder type according to dietary preferences (whey, plant-based, etc.).
  • For a vegan version, substitute egg with a flax egg and use plant-based yogurt and milk.
  • Monitor cooking time to avoid burning the exterior while ensuring the inside is cooked.
  • Maple syrup is optional and can be omitted for a lower sugar option.
