  • 0.25 cup maple syrup (or your favorite sugar substitute)
  • 0.25 cup melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 2 large eggs (or egg substitute)
  • 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese (for moisture and extra protein))
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder (or chocolate protein powder)
  • 1.75 cups oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans (optional))
  • 0.25 cup peanut butter (optional, for added protein and flavor)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

  • Stir in protein powder until no lumps remain.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl.
