Relive the nostalgia of childhood mornings with a healthier twist! These protein-packed sourdough French toast sticks are a delightful blend of comfort and nutrition. Made with sourdough bread and boosted with protein powder, they’re perfect for a satisfying breakfast or snack. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 2 large pieces of sourdough bread
• 2 scoops protein powder (I use Orgain SIMPLE)
• 1 egg
• 1 cup egg whites
• 1/2 cup milk (I use Malk Almond Milk)
• Your choice of sweetener (I used monk fruit)
• Cinnamon

Directions:

• Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine the protein powder, egg whites, whole egg, milk, and a generous amount of cinnamon. Mix until well combined to create the batter.
• Cut the Sourdough: Cut the sourdough bread into 4-5 sticks, resembling traditional French toast sticks.
• Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and add about a teaspoon of coconut oil.
• Soak the Sourdough: Dip each sourdough stick into the prepared batter, ensuring they are fully coated on all sides.
• Cook the French Toast Sticks: Place the soaked sourdough sticks onto the preheated pan. Cook for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
• Sweeten and Serve: Once cooked, remove the French toast sticks from the pan and coat them in your favorite sugar-free sweetener. I used monk fruit. Optionally, top with your favorite toppings such as PB2 or maple syrup for added flavor.
• Enjoy! Serve your protein-packed sourdough French toast sticks warm and crispy. Whether enjoyed as a standalone breakfast or paired with your favorite sides, these tasty treats are sure to bring a smile to your face!
