Ingredients
Scale
2 slices thick-cut bread
1 scoop (30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, protein powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and smooth.
Dip each slice of bread into the protein mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
For skillet cooking: Heat a lightly oiled or buttered skillet over medium heat. Cook the bread for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
For air fryer cooking: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. Place the coated bread slices in the basket in a single layer. Air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Using thick-cut bread helps prevent the toast from becoming soggy.
Adjust the amount of milk slightly if the batter seems too thick or too thin.
Ensure your protein powder is fully incorporated to avoid clumps.
