Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Whole wheat bread
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Egg whites
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 scoops Vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional topping)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional topping)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by spraying it lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, almond milk, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and honey until well combined.
Arrange the bread slices in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them if necessary.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly soaked and covered.
Let the bread absorb the egg mixture for at least 5 minutes to ensure they are well soaked.
If desired, add freshly washed and dried berries or sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for additional texture and flavor.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the French toast is puffy and golden brown, and the egg mixture is completely set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve hot, optionally topped with additional berries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
