Protein French Toast

easy15 min totalPrep: 5mCook: 10mServes: 1

French toast that fits your macros. The protein powder in the egg wash is the trick — it adds sweetness, flavour, and an extra 20g+ protein without changing the texture. Proper weekend breakfast vibes on a weekday budget.

Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices white bread (or brioche for a treat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 20g vanilla whey protein powder
  • 30ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Low-calorie cooking spray
  • 50g mixed berries
  • 10g zero-calorie maple syrup

Method

  1. Whisk together the eggs, protein powder, milk, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl until smooth.
  2. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, letting it soak for 15 seconds per side.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
  4. Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  5. Serve topped with berries and a drizzle of zero-calorie maple syrup.

Pro Tip

Slightly stale bread works better for French toast — it absorbs the egg mixture without falling apart. Leave fresh bread out for a few hours or lightly toast it first.

Nutrition Notes

35g protein from the eggs and whey, with moderate carbs from the bread. Using zero-calorie maple syrup saves around 60 calories compared to the real thing while still giving you that sweet, sticky finish.
