Ingredients
- Whole wheat bread 2 slices
- Egg whites 3 large
- Whey protein powder 1/4 scoop
- Cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon
- Maple syrup 1 tablespoon
Method
-
Prepare the egg white mixture.
In a shallow bowl, pour in the 3 large egg whites. Add 1/4 scoop of whey protein powder and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Whisk everything together thoroughly until the protein powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Tip: Whisk vigorously to avoid clumps of protein powder. -
Soak the bread.
Take the 2 slices of whole wheat bread and dip each slice into the egg white mixture. Allow the bread to soak for about 20 seconds on each side so it absorbs enough liquid but does not become too soggy.
Tip: Use a fork or tongs to flip the bread gently to avoid tearing. -
Cook the French toast.
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of cooking spray or a teaspoon of oil if desired. Place the soaked bread slices onto the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Tip: Cook on medium heat to ensure the inside cooks without burning the outside. -
Serve with maple syrup.
Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup evenly over the top. Optionally, add fresh fruit or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon for garnish.
Tip: Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Pro tips
- Use day-old bread for better soaking without falling apart.
