Ingredients (serves 2):
Eggs: 2 large
Egg Whites: 2
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: 1 tablespoon
Vanilla Extract: 1/2 teaspoon
Butter: 1 tablespoon
Wholegrain Bread: 4 slices
Peanut Butter: 2 tablespoons
Protein Powder: 1 scoop (chocolate preferred)
Fresh Raspberries: 1 cup
Milk: A splash (for peanut butter mixture)
What you need to do:
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth. This chocolate-infused mixture will bring a delicious depth of flavour to your French toast.
Soak the Bread:
Dip each slice of wholegrain bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak up the liquid completely. This step is crucial for achieving that moist, tender interior that's a hallmark of great French toast.
Cook the French Toast:
Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan. Place the soaked bread slices in the pan (cook in batches if necessary) and fry until the underside is dark golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip each slice and continue cooking until the other side is also golden brown and slightly crispy, about another 3 minutes.
Prepare the Protein-Packed Peanut Butter:
While the bread is cooking, mix the protein powder into the peanut butter. Add just enough milk (1-2 teaspoons) to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency without it becoming too dry or pasty.
Assemble & Serve:
Spread the protein-enriched peanut butter mixture over the warm French toast slices. Serve each portion with a half-cup of fresh raspberries on the side.
This Chocolate & Peanut Butter Protein French Toast not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also provides a substantial serving of protein to help support muscle repair and growth. The addition of fresh raspberries adds a burst of flavour and a boost of antioxidants, making this breakfast both healthy and indulgent.
