Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free oat flour 1 cup almond flour 1 cup vanilla protein powder ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt 2 tsp ground cinnamon optional: ¼ tsp nutmeg + pinch ground cloves 1 ¾ cups unsweetened applesauce ¼ cup greek yogurt ¼ cup avocado oil-evoo or melted coconut oil works ¼ cup maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 large eggs
- topping cream cheese and cinnamon coconut sugar
Instructions
- preheat your oven to 350°f (175°c) and grease a large loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- in a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and optional nutmeg and cloves.
- in a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, greek yogurt, melted coconut oil or avocado oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
- pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly. use either a 1 and 1/2 lb or 1 and 1/4 lb bread loaf pan. bake 52-54 minutes until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. monitor and if the top becomes too brown by the 40 minute mark, tent loosely with foil.
- let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. add cream cheese to the top if desired.
