Ingredients

For the French Toast

6 slices bread (Discount code COOKINGKATIELADY at checkout to get 10% off your order!)
1 egg (large, organic)
1/3 cup almond milk (unsweetened, organic. If you are using a thicker bread do 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
1 orange (zest of 1 large orange)
30 g protein powder (vanilla or unflavored works best)
1 tbsp coconut sugar (organic)
2 tsp vanilla extract (1-2, depending on how strong you like it)
1 tsp cinnamon (ground)

For the Cream Cheese Filling

4 tbsp cream cheese (organic, softened)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat)
1 tsp orange juice (fresh)

Instructions

1
Make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, orange juize, orange zest, protein powder, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well combined.
2
Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, stir the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and orange juice until creamy and smooth.
3
Assemble the French toast: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto three slices of Eat Royo bread. Place the remaining slices on top to create three stuffed “sandwiches.”
4
Dip the sandwiches: Submerge each sandwich into the French toast batter, letting the bread soak for a few seconds on each side until fully coated.
5
Cook the French toast: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray, butter, or a small amount of coconut oil. Cook each stuffed sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
6
Serve: Enjoy warm, topped with a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
