Ingredients  

  • 8 slices bread
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup protein powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cut the bread into cubes and place them evenly in the greased baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, whey protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined and smooth.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the cubed bread in the baking dish. Gently press down the bread to ensure all pieces are coated in the mixture. Allow it to soak for at least 15-30 minutes. For best results, cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  6. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, topped with fresh berries, sliced bananas, and a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of cinnamon or any other preferred toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the bake uncooked or cooked in a freezer-safe casserole dish, or wrap individual servings in parchment paper and place in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the oven.
