So, it happened again. I made some French toast and remembered how much I absolutely love a nice stack of fluffy cinnamon French toast. I have been dreaming about it ever since I made it. Actually, there is tons of food I dream about. I’m pretty much always thinking about food haha! But, this amazing chocolate covered cherry protein French toast is the most recent delicacy.
One of the things I love about French toast is really how simple it is to make. It is just the normal egg wash consisting off egg, egg white, protein powder, sweetener, cinnamon and milk. Cook it up on a griddle and top with whatever you are craving.
When I made this, I was craving chocolate (of course) and cherries. The French toast is my typical cinnamon protein French toast recipe topped with a sweet cherry compote and a healthy serving of melted chocolate. I was about to say that chocolate and cherries go so well together, but chocolate and anything pretty much go well together!
