Notes

To make gluten-free: use gluten-free bread of choice. I have heard great things about this gluten-free challah option!

To make dairy-free: use dairy-free milk (I used unsweetened almond milk) but cashew or oat works too. Also make sure your protein powder is dairy-free.

To store: let french toast cool then place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

To freeze: place french toast in an air tight, freezer safe ziploc bag for up to 3 months. Then reheat in the air fryer or toaster oven when ready to eat!

To reheat: spray all over with cooking spray before reheating. You can reheat in the air fryer at 350F for 2-3 minutes (recommended), in the toaster oven, in the oven at 350F for 6-8 minutes or in a skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side.
