Prepare the Batter
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg whites, milk, protein powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and baking powder until smooth.

-
Heat the Pan

Notes
- For a lower-carb version, use low-carb or keto bread.
- Make it dairy-free by using almond milk and plant-based protein powder.
- Add extra crunch by sprinkling chopped nuts or granola on top.
- For meal prep, make a batch and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster or oven for best results.
