Protein Banana & Cinnamon French Toast.
Crispy on the outside, fluffy and gooey on the inside, with the perfect hint of cinnamon for a truly mouth watering breakfast or snack. All you need is 20 minutes and few very simple (and very nourishing) ingredients to make French Toast that’s packed with plant protein!
Serves: 1 | Total Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
100ml unsweetened almond or oat milk
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (add a little extra if you want a stronger taste)
1/2 ripe banana
70g silken tofu
10g plant-based vanilla protein powder
2 slices of thick sourdough bread (1 or 2 day-old bread works best)
Instructions
Place all of the ingredients (except the bread) into a blender and blitz until smooth.
Take your bread and with a fork, poke a couple of holes into the bread slices (this will help the mixture seep into the bread better).
Transfer the mixture into a shallow dish and submerge the bread into the mixture and allow the bread to soak up the banana/tofu mixture for 5 minutes before turning them over to soak again on the other side.
Lightly coat a frying pan with oil (I tend to place a little oil on a piece of kitchen roll and rub the inside of the frying pan to lightly coat it). Transition the soaked bread onto the frying pan, leaving them to cook per side for 5 minutes before flipping them over (if you try to flip them too soon, the mixture with just come away from the bread and stick to the pan).
Once all are cooked, serve on a plate with your choice of toppings (I love fresh fruit and peanut butter). Oh, and remember to enjoy every mouthful!
