Ingredients
  

Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based, unflavored or vanilla works best)
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch salt
Wet Batter Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or 2% recommended for creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Bread
  • 2 slices thick whole-grain bread or brioche (stale bread works best for soaking)
For Cooking
  • cooking spray or a tablespoon of butter/coconut oil

Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • Separate bowl
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, almond flour, chia seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk everything together thoroughly until well combined. This dry base will form the foundation of your anabolic French toast, providing fiber, protein, and a subtle nuttiness.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the two large eggs until the yolks and whites are fully incorporated. Add the unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the eggs. Whisk again until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well blended. The Greek yogurt will contribute to a wonderfully creamy batter.

  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or spoon until a thick, uniform batter forms. Don't worry if it seems a bit thick; this is desired for coating the bread effectively. Ensure there are no dry pockets of flour or protein powder remaining.
  4. Take your bread slices, one at a time, and submerge them into the anabolic French toast batter. Ensure both sides are completely coated. Let the bread soak for about 15-30 seconds on each side, allowing it to absorb the delicious, protein-packed mixture without becoming too soggy. The thickness of your bread will influence the soaking time.

  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat it with cooking spray or add the butter/coconut oil. Once the pan is hot, carefully place the battered bread slices onto the griddle.

  6. Cook each side for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. You’re looking for a beautiful, caramelized exterior and a fluffy, cooked interior. Adjust the heat if the toast is browning too quickly or too slowly.
  7. Once cooked, remove the High Protein Anabolic French Toast from the griddle and serve immediately. Top with your favorite healthy additions like fresh berries, a drizzle of sugar-free syrup, a dollop of extra Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts.
