Strawberry Cashew Protein Bread






Have you ever baked with cashew butter? It is my favorite nut butter to bake with because it's already more buttery than the other kinds and it's so silky and smooth. All of that yumminess transfers to the treat you're making. Yes, please! This protein bread was certainly no exception! You'll love the texture and flavor of this bread. And strawberries are just so damn good! Enjoy!

Ingredients

4 egg whites
½ cup plain greek yogurt
1 cup strawberries, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup almond meal flour
1 cup oat flour (or whole-wheat flour)
½ cup xylitol (or sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar-free strawberry gelatin mix

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray loaf pan with non-stick spray.

2. Combine egg whites, yogurt, ½ cup diced strawberries, cashew butter, and extract in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.

3. Add protein powder, almond meal flour, oat flour, xylitol, baking powder, and gelatin mix to a mixing bowl. Stir together.

4. Pour liquid ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Stir in remainder ½ cup of diced strawberries into batter.

  1. Hi!

    Was just wondering what sort of greek yogurt you used (0% fage etc etc) and also if you used Lean Body For Her 100% whey concentrate or whey protein isolate.

    Thank you!!

    1. Hey! I typically use 0% Fage plain greek yogurt (2% would work great also) and for this recipes, I used the whey concentrate. Hope this helps!

  3. Could you sub all oat flour (1 3/4 cup) for the almond flour?

    1. Yes. That should work. Start with using only 1.5 cups of oat flour since it soaks up more liquid than almond flour.
