Pumpkin Protein French Toast
Pumpkin Protein French Toast
Ingredients
Substitution
Note
Ingredients for 4 servings
- egg
- egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 1/2 scoops vanilla isolate whey protein (or unflavored)
- 4oz almond milk, unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin (I used Simple Truth brand)
- 8 slices multigrain bread (I used Dave’s 70 calorie Good Seed bread)
- cooking spray
- Garnish
- 1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt (2 tablespoons per serving)
- 8 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup
Steps
Step 1
Set oven to 420F.
Step 2
Whisk together the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Add the slices of bread to the batter, one by one, and let each piece soak for no more than 1 minute. Soaking too long will cause the bread to fall apart.
Step 4
Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray or olive oil.
Step 5
Add 2 or 3 slices of soaked bread, and be sure not to crowd the skillet. Cook on each side for approximately 1 minute, or until the edges are brown and slightly crispy.
Step 6
For meal prep, place the slices on a baking grid or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from the oven, then allow the slices to cool to room temperature. Add parchment paper between the slices, then store each portion in a sealable plastic bag.
