We’re back this week with another healthy breakfast recipe! This time with less ingredients and more protein, a delicious Easy Protein French Toast! It can be made with or without eggs and uses simple ingredients like cottage cheese.

We need our mix smooth since we’re using cottage cheese so you’ll need to start this one with either a food processor or blender.

Add right into whatever you’re using 2 large whole eggs, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of a sweetener, and 1 optional scoop of a vanilla protein powder.

You could also use any other flavor protein powder like chocolate, as long as you think it would pair well with French toast. Salted caramel, peanut butter, and red velvet are some of my other favorites here!

Have issues with or don’t have eggs? You can use 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce! The macros will change a bit but I’ll make sure to put both variations below in the recipe card.

From here, process or blend everything together right until smooth. Make sure not to over-mix it.

Pro tip? Double or triple the recipe to make a bigger batch either for meal prep or the entire family!

Protein French Toast Bread

Pour that mix into a dish and choose your favorite French toast bread. You could go low carb, higher protein, or keep it classic like I did today with some thick cut Texas toast. The slices I used are only 90 calories which really isn’t too bad. Drop your favorite bread in the comments below!

Place a piece of your bread into your protein French toast mix and let that soak. I usually give it a few minutes though in my opinion, the longer you can wait the better depending on the bread you’re using. If I remember, I’ll even let mine soak overnight.

This will all depend on how you like your French toast. Change up the bread, soaking time, and so on to find out what you like best. Don’t be afraid to experiment!

For reference and in my experience, the longer you let it soak the more of a mushy/custard like interior you’ll have. If you don’t want your French toast to have this then stick to soaking it for a few minutes.

Take out a pan or griddle, turn your burner on medium heat, and add in some butter or cooking spray. My preference is almost always butter however you can use cooking spray if you’re trying to save some calories!

Once that heats up, place your soaked and soon to be easy protein French toast onto whatever you’re using. Let each side cook for around 2-3 minutes.

A couple tips for this one?

1. I’m also going to include the calorie breakdown for just the mix with and without protein powder and also the mix plus the Texas toast I used below.
2. You can make your mix the night before so it’s ready to go in the morning!
3. To reheat it, use either the microwave for :30 seconds, your toaster for a cycle, or an air fryer for a couple minutes.
