12sliceswhole wheat bread thick-cut or high-protein if preferred
vegetable oilor vegan butter for cooking
To Serve (optional):
Berries or fruit of choice
Maple syrup
Soy yogurt
Instructions
Add the soy milk, chia seeds, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and protein powder to a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the batter into a shallow dish and let sit for 5–10 minutes to thicken slightly.
Dip each slice of bread into the batter and soak for 1 minute. Flip and soak the other side for 30–60 seconds, or until fully coated but not falling apart.
Heat a large skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a little oil or vegan butter. Once hot, add the soaked bread slices (cook in batches if needed). Cook for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Serve warm with berries, extra maple syrup, and a dollop of soy yogurt if desired.
