Ingredients
Scale
- Whole grain or high-protein bread
- Egg whites
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or cinnamon)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Greek yogurt for topping
- Sugar-free syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter for finishing
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg whites, almond milk, protein powder, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.
- Dip bread slices into the mixture, coating evenly without soaking too long.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, lightly spray with oil, and cook each slice for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Stack cooked slices and top with Greek yogurt, berries, nut butter, or sugar-free syrup.
Notes
Use slightly stale bread to avoid sogginess. For fluffier results, whip egg whites before mixing. Undercook slightly if meal prepping to prevent dryness when reheated. Store in fridge for 3 days or freeze up to 2 months with parchment between slices.
