How to make Chocolate Protein Bread

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Protein powder is fantastic in shakes, but it works even better in a simple no yeast-bread. This bread works as a delicious breakfast, or as a snack to keep you going through the day. Surprisingly light, packed with flavour and the best thing is that it’s not overly sweet. My recipe doesn’t use any sugar, and instead uses maple syrup but it still doesn’t result in a very sweet outcome – feel free to add more syrup if you prefer sweeter breads.

I love making a batch of this bread and eating it fresh from the oven, with a bit of extra toasting and topping it off with plenty of delicious butter. The best part of this recipe is how simple it is, there’s no crazy intense method to the madness here – it’s a simple loaf and something you can whip up in no time.

You can buy loaf tins via amazon or Target.
