Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder or chocolate for a different flavor
  • 1 scoop unflavored protein powder ensure it's fine to avoid gritty texture
  • 1 tbsp baking powder check expiration for effectiveness
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt coconut yogurt for a vegan option
  • 1/2 cup almond milk or any nut milk
  • 1/4 cup zero calorie sugar replacement adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg for variety

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan. Optionally add chopped pecans at the bottom.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
  3. Add Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and mix to form a thick, shaggy dough. Avoid over-mixing.
  4. Wet your palms to prevent sticking. Divide dough into about 25 equal balls, each the size of 2 tablespoons.
  5. Prepare a cinnamon-sugar mixture in one bowl, and in another bowl, pour some almond milk for dipping.
  6. Dip each dough ball into almond milk, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place in the loaf pan, stacking as you go.
  7. Bake for about 20 minutes. Cover loosely with foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
