High-Protein Vanilla French Toast

Craving a classic comfort breakfast but want to keep it aligned with your health goals? This High-Protein Vanilla French Toast is a smarter, modern twist on the traditional favorite. Instead of using sugary vanilla paste or extract, we swap in vanilla pea protein—adding rich vanilla flavor and extra protein without extra sugar. It’s the perfect way to fuel your morning while still indulging in those warm, cozy brunch vibes. Plus, it's quick and easy to make—ideal for busy mornings or lazy weekend treats.
Ingredients (serves 2):
-
2 large eggs
-
½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
-
1 scoop vanilla pea protein (like Nutrasumma’s Vanilla Fermented Pea Protein)
-
4 slices of bread (your choice: whole grain, sourdough, or gluten-free)
-
Optional: ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
Optional toppings: fresh fruit, nut butter, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions:
-
Whisk the batter:
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla pea protein, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth and lump-free. Let the mixture rest for 1–2 minutes to allow the protein powder to fully dissolve. -
Dip the toast:
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, letting it soak for a few seconds on each side. -
Cook until golden:
Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges. -
Serve and enjoy:
Stack them up and top with your favorite toppings—berries, yogurt, almond butter, or a dash of cinnamon. Enjoy while warm!
Why Add Vanilla Pea Protein?
Traditional French toast recipes often rely on sugary vanilla paste or extract to deliver that signature warm, sweet flavor. By substituting with Nutrasumma’s Vanilla Fermented Pea Protein, you get the same delicious vanilla essence while cutting down on added sugars. Even better, you’ll add a healthy boost of clean, plant-based protein that supports muscle recovery and keeps you full longer. This easy swap transforms a beloved classic into a more balanced, guilt-free meal—without sacrificing taste or that indulgent brunch experience.
