Description
Warm, pillowy pieces of pull-apart bread with the protein power to make it breakfast-worthy without the sugar spike.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (180g)
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder (45g)
- ½ cup unflavored protein powder (45g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups non-fat Greek yogurt (450g)
- 2 tablespoons almond milk (30ml)
- 3 tablespoons zero-calorie 1:1 sugar replacement (18g)
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (28g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan thoroughly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla and unflavored protein powders, baking powder, and baking soda until combined.
- In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, zero-calorie sugar replacement, and cinnamon. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold until just combined. A few streaks of flour are okay.
- If using, fold in the chopped pecans.
- Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best texture, serve slices warm. Pair with Greek yogurt or nut butter for extra protein.
