Prep:
15 minutes
Cook:
30 minutes
Ingredients:
8 slices light bread
3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder (like Isopure Zero Carb)
1 cup (about 8 large) egg whites or liquid egg substitute
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 dash salt
1/4 cup whipped cream cheese
2 tbsp. low-sugar strawberry preserves
3/4 cup sliced strawberries
Optional toppings: powdered sugar, sugar-free pancake syrup
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray 8 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
Lightly toast bread, and set aside to cool completely.
Pour milk into a medium bowl. Slowly add protein powder while whisking until smooth and uniform. Add egg whites/substitute, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until uniform. (Don’t worry if it froths up.)
Evenly spread cream cheese and jam onto 4 pieces of the cooled toast. Top with sliced strawberries and remaining 4 pieces of toast, forming 4 sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into 6 pieces. (Halve each sandwich, then cut each half widthwise into 3 pieces, for 24 total pieces.)
Fill each of the 8 muffin cups with 3 sandwich pieces, pressing them in gently to fit. Top with egg mixture.
Bake until golden brown, about 24 minutes.
