How much protein is in a serving of High Protein Apple Pie French Toast Bake?

Each serving contains about 25 grams of protein , depending on the bread and protein powder you choose.

Can I make this French toast bake overnight?

Yes! Assemble everything the night before, cover, and refrigerate. In the morning, pop it straight into the oven for a fuss-free breakfast.

What is the best protein powder for baking in French toast bakes?

Vanilla whey protein powder blends smoothly and adds sweetness, but plant-based powders (like pea or soy) also work well if you need a dairy-free option.
