The best part about the weekend for me is sleeping in, taking the time to enjoy my breakfast and coffee, and getting a great workout in. This BLUEBERRY MUFFIN FRENCH TOAST is the perfect way to start the weekend, get some good protein and nutrients, and tastes absolutely amazing!
Blueberry Muffin … meet Protein French Toast
There is a reason that I am calling this Blueberry Muffin Protein French Toast rather than just blueberry protein french toast. That is because it legitimately tastes like a blueberry muffin. And, I even added a little bit of on oatmeal crumble that you find on good blueberry muffins.
Where does the blueberry muffin flavor come from?
For this one, I used some amazing Blueberry Muffin flavored whey protein powder from my friends over at Bare Performance Nutrition (BPN). They have a huge line of flavors, and honestly the best tasting protein I have ever had. I have no idea how they made this protein powder taste exactly like a blueberry muffin, but they did it.
What other flavors do I like?
Like I mentioned above, they have a bunch of flavors. My personal favorite at the moment is a tie between the Fudge Chocolate and the Milk & Cookies. Sometimes I do half of each, and it’s insanely good!
Back to the blueberry muffin protein french toast
There are a few different tips and tricks I have to getting super moist, fluffy French toast!
- Let it soak in the egg wash for a long time. The bread should almost be falling apart when you put it in the pan. That is how saturated with egg wash it should be.
- Somewhat stale/dry bread. I actually left my bread out of the package overnight to let it dry out a bit. This allows it to absorb much more of the egg!
- Medium heat. You don’t want the heat super high because that will just cook the outsides, and leave the center of the bread undercooked without fluffing up. With medium heat, the outsides don’t burn and the inside cooks and gets nice a fluffy!
For the Blueberry Sauce
It is actually quite easy to make. All you need is:
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup sugar free maple syrup (or regular)
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
Heat the berries and syrup together in the microwave, then add the chia seeds and let thicken for 5-10 minutes. Once thickened, drizzle over the french toast!
For the Oatmeal Crumble
This is what really gives them that blueberry muffin feel. It’s a combination of light butter, oats, and 1/2 scoop Blueberry Muffin protein powder. Mix together, and bake in the oven until crisp. Once all the parts are done, assemble!
It makes two servings so divide the french toast between two plates, top with the blueberry jam, and sprinkle with the oatmeal crumble. Then, devour and enjoy the happiness that a delicious stack of blueberry muffin protein french toast and a cup of coffee will bring to your weekend!
