Ingredients
4 slices whole wheat bread
2 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Cooking spray or light butter for the pan
Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
Whisk the eggs, almond milk, protein powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together in a shallow bowl until smooth.
Place the bread slices into the egg mixture and let them soak for about 30 seconds per side.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with cooking spray.
Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Ensure the heat is kept low enough to avoid burning the protein-rich batter.
Serve immediately while warm with a splash of maple syrup.
Notes
Use day-old bread for better absorption. For an even higher protein count, you can swap whole eggs for 1/2 cup of egg whites. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
