Imagine sitting in your kitchen surrounded by the aromas of bananas, caramel, and biscoff while enjoying this amazing Banoffee French Toast! The best part? This recipe is also packed with protein and fiber while being low calorie. This recipe strikes the balance between an indulgent treat and a healthy breakfast.
Why are both fiber & protein so essential for breakfast?
By starting your day with a meal that is high in protein and fiber, you will have better craving management, more stable blood sugar and energy, and you will also feel more satiated! Most french toast style meals are carb heavy and low protein, leading to an energy crash shortly after eating. This does not feel good! This is why I have created this amazing Banoffee French Toast. It has 28 grams of protein, 7.6 grams of fiber and only 360 calories per serving!

Ingredients
240 g overripe bananas (approximately 3 small or 2 large bananas, can be frozen)
1 loaf low carb/high fiber bread- see note
60 ml sugar-free maple syrup (1/4 cup)
500 g egg whites (about 2 cups)
120 g vanilla protein powder (about 1 cup)-see note
500 ml unsweetened almond milk (2 cups)
1/2 cup zero-calorie brown sugar sweetener (e.g., Swerve)
110 g biscoff spread (20g for baking, 90g for topping, about 1/2 cup total)
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp caramel extract
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
3 Lotus Biscoff cookies, crushed (for topping)
Directions
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Tear the bread into pieces or cut into cubes and place them in the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (protein powder, sweetener, cinnamon, baking powder, salt) along with the extracts. Add the bananas and stir until well combined.
- Place 20g of Biscoff spread in a microwave-safe dish and heat for about 20 seconds, or until melted. Stir this into the banana mixture.
- Add the almond milk, sugar-free maple syrup, and egg whites to the bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the bread in the baking dish. Use a fork to gently mix and ensure all pieces of bread are evenly soaked.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, or until the top begins to brown and the bake feels firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and melt the remaining 90g of Biscoff spread. Drizzle over the top of the bake. Sprinkle the crushed Biscoff cookies evenly over the surface.
- Allow the bake to cool slightly before serving. This dish can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
