Protein Sparing Bread French Toast
Ingredients
PROTEIN BREAD:
- 12 large eggs separated
- 1 cup unflavored egg white protein powder
FRENCH TOAST:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened macadamia nut milk or low-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
PROTEIN BREAD:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Separate the eggs (save the yolks), and whip the whites for a few minutes until VERY stiff (I use a stand mixer on high for a over 8 minutes).
- Gently mix the protein powder into the whites. Then slowly fold the reserved egg yolks into the whites (making sure the whites don't fall).
- Grease a bread pan with coconut oil spray and place the "dough" in the pan.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let completely cool before cutting or the bread will fall.
- Cut into 12 slices.
FRENCH TOAST:
- Grease a cast iron skillet with coconut oil and heat to medium high.
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 eggs, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla and cinnamon.
- Dip the slices of protein bread into the egg mixture.
- Place the drenched protein bread onto the hot skillet.
- Grill until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining bread.
- Place the French Toast on a plate and top with keto syrup. Enjoy!
