Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices thick-cut bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (about 30g)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or butter for the skillet
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, protein powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Dip each slice of thick-cut bread into the batter, soaking for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter.
- Carefully place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Alternatively, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C), lightly spray the basket, and cook the battered slices for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.
- Serve immediately topped with fresh fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup.
Notes
For the best texture, use slightly stale or day-old bread. Add honey or maple syrup to the batter for a sweeter version.
