Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 serving protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • cooking spray if needed
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer or toaster oven to 375°F and line the air fryer with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray if needed.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, protein powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, until well combined.
  • Dip each bread slice into the French toast batter, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
  • If you are using a non-stick pan or griddle, now you can heat on medium. Once hot, add the coated bread slices to the skillet.
  • Cook the French toast for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate and add your desired toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Slice the bread into sticks to make french toast sticks. 
 
Storage: Once cooked, the French toast sticks will keep well for 2 days and can be reheated in the toaster oven or air fryer.
 
Freeze: These freeze really well and will keep well for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in the air fryer or toaster oven.
 
This recipe makes one serving of high-protein French toast, but can easily be doubled or tripled to serve more people. It's a quick and easy breakfast option that's packed with protein and flavor.
