Description

These Protein French Toast Sticks are made with brioche bread dipped in a cinnamon-vanilla protein batter, then cooked in a skillet until browned. Serve them with maple syrup, berries, powdered sugar, or turkey sausage patties, or store them for make-ahead breakfasts.


Ingredients

  • 6 slices brioche bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup egg whites, 80 g
  • 1/4 cup almond milk, 60 g
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 62 g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon liquid stevia
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Cooking spray, for the skillet

Optional Serving Items

  • Powdered sugar
  • Maple syrup, for dipping
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Blueberries
  • Turkey sausage patties


Instructions

  1. Cut each slice of brioche bread into 3 to 4 sticks, depending on the bread width.
  2. Keep each bread stick about 1 inch thick.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, almond milk, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, liquid stevia, and cinnamon.
  4. Dip each bread stick into the protein batter.
  5. Set the dipped sticks on a plate before cooking.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  7. Spray the skillet with cooking spray.
  8. Add the French toast sticks in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
  9. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until browned to your liking.
  10. Divide the French toast sticks among four plates or containers.
  11. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if using.
  12. Serve with maple syrup for dipping if using.
  13. Add fresh strawberries, blueberries, and turkey sausage patties if desired.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover Protein French Toast Sticks in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Freeze in an airtight freezer-safe zip-top bag for up to 3 months.

Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes.

Toaster, toaster oven, or skillet reheating are also supported options.

Microwave reheating is not the preferred method because it can make the sticks softer.

Notes

  • Cut the brioche into sticks about 1 inch thick so they hold their shape.
  • Whisk the protein batter well before dipping.
  • Set the dipped sticks on a plate before cooking so the skillet step is easier.
  • Cook the sticks in a single layer and do not let them touch.
  • Work in batches if needed.
  • Vanilla protein powder affects the final flavor, so use one you like.
  • Gluten-free bread can be used as a supported gluten-free swap.
  • To make the recipe dairy-free, use dairy-free protein powder.
  • Keep syrup separate if packing these into containers.
