I've noticed that if I don't eat enough protein at breakfast, I'm starving within a couple of hours. I've made it a point to eat a good amount of protein in the morning to feel energized and satiated.
I don't want to miss out on yummy breakfast meals like French toast. This is why I decided to create a French toast recipe that is higher in protein.
Let me break it down for you...
There are other ingredients in this recipe, but I'm just touching on the egg whites, protein powder and bread since those are the main sources of protein.
7.2 grams of protein in the egg whites
7.5 grams of protein in the protein powder
10.5 grams of protein in the bread
Total protein = over 25 grams!!!
Overview of the ingredients
sliced wheat bread of choice - I used Alvarado Street Bakery Sprouted Wheat Flax Seed Bread. Each slice of bread has 3.5 grams of protein!
milk of choice
egg whites - You can also use boxed egg whites here.
ground cinnamon
protein powder of choice - I used vanilla whey protein powder.
A complete list of ingredients, amounts and instructions is located on the recipe card below.
Expert Tips
It's best to leave the bread out for a day on the counter, wrapped in paper towel to let it dry out a bit. This will yield crispier French toast.
Make sure you enjoy the taste of the protein powder you use!
Do not let the bread soak in the mixture for too long or it could fall apart.
You can top the french toast however you please. Get creative! I topped mine with fresh sliced strawberries, powdered monk fruit and a little drizzle of pure maple syrup.

High Protein French Toast
Ingredients
- 3 slices sliced wheat bread of choice - I used Alvarado Street Bakery Sprouted Wheat Flax Seed Bread. Each slice of bread has 3.5 grams of protein!
- ⅓ cup milk of choice
- 2 egg whites - You can also use boxed egg whites here. 6 tablespoons is equal to 2 egg whites.
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons protein powder of choice - I used vanilla whey protein powder. This was about a half of a scoop.
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together milk, egg whites, cinnamon and vanilla protein powder.
- Place coconut oil into a pan over medium heat.
- Dunk the slices of bread into the liquid mixture (one at a time). Make sure you flip the bread to coat both sides evenly. Then, place the slices of soaked bread into the hot pan. You should hear a sizzle when the bread hits the pan.
- Cook 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Serve with toppings of choice!
