In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack open the 3 eggs.
Pour in the 1/2 cup of whole milk.
Add the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Sprinkle in the 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Mix in the 2 tablespoons of whey protein powder. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth.
Slice your whole wheat bread into long stick shapes.
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Grease the pan lightly with butter or use a non-stick cooking spray.
Once the pan is heated, dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated.
Place the soaked bread sticks onto the skillet.
Cook each side for about 2 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the Protein French Toast Sticks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Top Tips
For an added protein kick, consider adding a sprinkle of chia seeds or hemp seeds on top before serving.
If you want a crispier texture, let the bread sticks cook for an additional 30 seconds on each side.
Always opt for whole wheat bread as it’s denser and holds up better when soaked.
The type of protein powder you choose can alter the flavor, so experiment and find your favorite!
