French Elvis Toast

By

My love affair with breakfast continues.

I couldn’t choose between something peanut butter-y and French toast.  Like a true healthy-living blogger I want nut butter at every meal, but I’d been thinking about french toast ever since receiving a loaf of P28 Bread.

French toast was my favorite childhood breakfast.  Mom used to make it on challah bread with lots of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey.  She would then warm syrup with butter to pour over the decadent toast.

Obviously that’s not on my training diet, and I had not attempted to make a healthy version due to my protein requirements.  There’s no way French toast would pack 20g of protein… until I received high protein bread.

You may have seen me mention P28 bread in previous posts.  I absolutely love it.  One slice packs 14g of protein!  Count me in.

P28 bread is chewier than regular bread.  Some people (Lee‘s husband) like that.  I don’t mind it, but prefer the bread toasted.  The toasting turns it perfectly soft with a nice crunchy exterior.  Note: Due to the whey, it toasts faster than regular bread, so keep an eye on it.

Now about the french toast…

Peanut butter-coated and topped with caramelized bananas, I had to name it after The King.

You know how good warm, runny nut butter is?  Imagine that, but soaked into bread.  A little vanilla and cinnamon makes it almost like eating dessert for breakfast.  Dessefast?  Deckfast?

For my topping, I sliced the bananas and let them briefly caramelize in the pan.  Arranged atop of the peanut-y toast and drizzled with cinnamon-lace syrup, those bananas added just the right amount of richness and creamy texture.

No peanut flour?  No problem!  Just use regular peanut butter.  (It will be easier to mix if you warm it just a bit.)

But really, you should order this peanut flour via iHerb.  Use coupon code USO924 for $5 off your first order.  It’s awesome, and it’s made in Georgia. 😉

Let’s pretend I didn’t lick my plate clean like a little kid…

Recipe at the end.

French Elvis Toast

  • 2 T peanut flour
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 C egg whites
  • 2-3 T milk (I used unsweetened almond)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 4 drops liquid stevia
  • 1slice P28 Bread (or bread of choice)
  • 1/2 banana, sliced

For Syrup:

  • 2 T sugar-free maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp butter extract

For the Toast:

Combine all ingredients in wide bowl.  Dip bread in mixture until saturated.

Cook in pan over med-high heat until golden brown on each side.

When almost done, place banana slices in pan and allow to caramelize slightly (they will turn a bit brown on top).

For the Syrup:

Pour syrup in small bowl.  Mix in cinnamon and butter extract.  Microwave for ~20 secs, until warm.

Plate your toast and top with caramelized bananas and syrup.

Makes 1 serving.

Note: If using regular bread, you may need 2 slices.  P28 slices are large and more dense than a standard slice.

Vegan Option: First, use a vegan bread source.  Second, replace the eggs with more almond milk and add a tablespoon of flax.  Let it sit for 10 mins to thicken before dipping your bread.  Proceed to cook.

I’m have a double serving for breakfast today.  Last night was leg day with my trainger and I sort of want to die after  those hack squats.

What was your favorite breakfast as a child?

Have you even done hack squats?

Comments

  1. That French toast looks unreal! I’m dying for them to come out with a gluten free bread! I will be first in line! My favorite breakfast as a child was cereal! It was all I ever wanted!

  5. Followed P28 on Twitter. Also followed you on Pinterest and Instagram (I didn’t even realize you had one!) I was going to pin this anyways. *mouths waters*

  8. I would make protein French toast. I have been DYING, yes dying to buy this bread for so long now. My mom just can’t see the reason because “it’s just bread.” No mom, each slice has 14g of protein!!! I would also make a protein packed PB&J ahhhh 🙂

  9. Ah! Everything you make looks so good! I have to say, I’d make french toast if I won! I already follow you on instagram and I am subscribed to your feed!

  18. I definitely don’t need to win this, so don’t enter me, but I wanted to say that I’m about to order some peanut flour just so I can make this. I wish they still sold it at TJ’s.

  19. Unlike Lee, I definitely need to win this! Haha, I will claim her entire as well. I’ve been eying these bread/bagels for a while. No where in NYC has it. Blast! I would def make french toast. And maybe some eggs in a whole. I’ve been craving french toast and pancakes, though. I have the pb flour just need the power bread now.

  28. I would definitely be all about peanut butter stuffed french toast with that stuff. I’ve been dying to try it ever since you started using it!

  37. OMG – I love bread & never heard of this one – maybe in your area only but I want!!! I buy Julian bread out here which has some higher protein content & other healthy breads – never giving up bread!!! I might just toast & eat away – that is the way I eat my bread cause I love it so much BUT after a workout I put PB with flax/chia mixed in it on the bread! 🙂

  42. YES, I have done hack squats & much more! 🙂 Kid breakfast – toast with butter & cinnamon sugar on it – just way too many pieces of it & led to a fat kid – me…

  44. I would definitely try this french toast out with the bread! It sounds delicious!

  49. Shockingly enough I rarely ate breakfast as a kid…and if I did, it was dry cocoa pops! My over-enthusiasm for breakfast these days is probably just making up for lost years ;)!

  50. Mm girl that french toast looks delicious!! I’d make a crazy protein filled pb & j sandwich :)… or a egg & jelly sandwich..

  54. Wow! Protein Bread – I didn’t even know that existed! I’m following a low carb diet so I would first incorporate it into my diet for my breakfast toast with peanut butter!

  55. I think I would have to make your P28 french toast with the prize. It looks DELICIOUS! 🙂 You create so many good recipes! Thank you!

  68. I was at the grocery store the other week and on the look-out for this bread after hearing so many amazing things. While I was unable to find it, I found another companies version of the high protein bagel. It was delicious with peanut butter and banana, so I can only imagine how good this bread would be as french toast with pb!

  79. With my new p28 bread, I will toast it and spread ricotta cheese and strawberry jelly on it. Yum!

  82. Oh my goodness this looks so so so good! The idea of high protein bread is amazing. I really want to try it, but I’m trying to avoid gluten due to some food allergy issues I’ve been having for awhile now. I wonder if they make a gluten free version? Wouldn’t that me the kicker!

  88. Totally wish there was a vegan version of that bread! I’ll settle for a CLOSE new favorite–chocolate protein powder+peanut flour+banana shake. Still Elvis-ish, just minus delicious egg-y toast. And my favorite breakfast that I ate pretty much every day for the first…10+ years…of my life? Cheerios + milk + honey. I still love cheerios munched on dry with a spoonful of nut butter. So I somehow didn’t burn out on them.

  93. I followed P28 on Twitter and I already follow you on Pinterest! I love all your Healthy Eating pins!

  94. The first thing I’d try with this bread would be cinnamon toast made with coconut oil, cinnamon, and stevia!

  95. I would make a pb & banana sandwich. Banana + pb is a delicious combination 🙂

  96. I would totally make a peanut butter banana sandwich – my FAVE since childhood !!! 😀
    I followed you and P28 on twitter and you on pinterest and already following you on IG :]]

  99. The first thing I would make with this bread would be the ultimate PB&J&B sandwhich!!!!! 🙂

  108. I am definitely making these Elvis French Toast slices if I win! Maybe add fake bacon to really make it the king’s meal :p

  126. I would make a big turkey avocado cranberry and pear sandwich! Yummy and refreshing for summertime!

  129. I subscribe to your feed too! Thanks so much as I’d love to give Protein PB28 bread a try!

  130. I’d totally make French toast! Too funny you mentioned Elvis – I just met a man who knew Elivs personally, actually he’s a songwriter that sold him a couple songs. 🙂 (perks of being in the musical business)

  146. “Warm, runny nut butter…cinnamon-laced syrup…caramelized bananas…” Oh my God woman, STOP IT WITH THE ADJECTIVES ALREADY!!! Here I am sitting here drooling all over myself and I JUST ate! For that, I am totally stealing your “deckfast”! So THERE!!! 😛

    I’ve heard you and Lauren talk about this bread so much…I can’t believe I forgot I tried it myself about a year ago…I remember it now…so fluffy, so delicious…WHY DIDN’T I BUY MORE?! Maybe because I was meant to win this giveaway and rediscover my love? Oh yes, I’m sure that’s the reason! 😉

    I already follow you on Twitter m’dear! Now I’m off to enter as many ways as possible! Yee haw!

  155. I LOVE french toast made from challah bread! The first time I had it was actually in college at a brunch place called The Crescent Moon in Atl. Have you been there? Oh it sure was a life-changing experience!

  171. OH MY! The endless possibilities… I would probably just make some toast with syrup & cinnamon to start… good. simple. delicious.

    …then, I would make french toast, a sandwich, pizza, and more!!

  174. I think I would use the bread to try to make your French Toast or use it with almond butter and fruits as a topping!

  178. First thing I would do with the bread? Well, I love smashing avocado on bread. But, when I try something for the very first time I usually have it plain HAHA I love just tasting the real thing first.

  179. I realize this isn’t another entry, but I could also stuff it with a bunch of carby things and then still get my protein 😉 oh fun. You know whats gross? When I was young I used to have salt and vinegar chips between a slice of fresh bread. Yeah, my eating has definitely changed, huh??

    xoxo love u

  189. The first thing I would make with the bread is probably toast with mashed avocado and tomato slices on top:)

  196. I follow you on twiiter and repin your recipies all the time they are great 🙂

  197. If I had a loaf of this amazing sounding bread the first thing I would make is french toast or just some plain old toast with pb and banana!
