Ingredients

1 loaf Bread*
4 large Eggs
1 cup Liquid Egg whites
1 cup Milk
1/2 cup Protein powder**
2 tbsp Maple syrup (+ more for serving)
3 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease 2x 12 cup muffin pans and set aside. Cut your bread into large cubes. If you are using a very soft bread (like brioche), you may want to toast the cubes in the oven for 5 minutes prior to adding the liquid mixture.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, protein powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt.
Toss in the bread cubes and stir gently to coat the bread cubes evenly. Spoon the mixture until muffin cups are approximately 3/4 - all the way full among the prepared pans. You should get somewhere between 20 - 24 muffins.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 18 - 20 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and muffins are puffy. Remove and let sit for 5 minutes to cool.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar (optional), or serve warm with a little butter and maple syrup.

Storage tips!

These store well in the freezer for a few months! This helps them to keep fresh. Pull out one at a time from the freezer and microwave for 1 minute to serve.

Notes

*You can use any type of bread here. If pre-sliced, you will need around 20 slices of bread. If using a sourdough loaf, cut the entire loaf into 1 inch cubes. For softer bread like brioche, it's best to toast in the oven at 375 for 5 minutes or so before tossing in with the liquid egg mixture.

**I use vanilla whey protein, but have also used a plant based protein (Ka'Chava) that was chai flavored. Choose your favorite protein powder! Collagen protein powder that is unflavored also works well here.
