Protein French Toast Mixture

• 2 slices Whole Wheat Bread (56g)
• 2 Tbsp Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 11g)
• 3 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (45ml)
• 1 Egg
• 1 Egg White (31g)
• ⅛ tsp Cinnamon (Optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Ramekin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a large ramekin to prevent sticking during baking.
2. Cut Bread: Slice the whole wheat bread into approximately 1-inch cubes, ensuring even sizes for consistent baking.
3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the vanilla protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, whole egg, egg white, and optional cinnamon. Blend until you get a smooth mixture, then transfer it into a mixing bowl.
4. Coat Bread Cubes: Add the bread cubes into the bowl with the protein mixture. Gently fold the bread using a large spoon until all pieces are well-coated with the custard mixture.
5. Assemble in Ramekin: Pour the coated bread mixture into the prepared ramekin. Ensure you include all the liquid to help the bread soak properly.
6. Bake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. After 12 minutes, cover it loosely with foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake until the custard is set to the top, the bread is slightly crisp on top, and a tester inserted comes out dry.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the French toast bake to cool for a few minutes once out of the oven. Top with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup before serving for added flavor and nutrition.
