Ask The Protein Powder Chef: What's Your Recipe For Protein Bread?
SHAREQ
Hi, Protein Powder Chef! Do You Have a Recipe for Protein White Bread?Thanks for your question! I get this request often because people on a diet usually cut white bread and pasta almost immediately. Then, pasta and bread become two of the things that dieters miss the most! After all, how do you make a proper sandwich without bread? How do you make toast? What do use to soak up your egg yolks?
You make my protein bread, that's how! Instead of being high in simple carbohydrates like regular bread, my bread is high in protein, fiber, and it's packed with other good nutrients. You can even make it gluten-free by using buckwheat and quinoa instead of oats.
You can play around with this recipe, too! Add flaxseed, nuts, seeds, and herbs to the mix. Rosemary works beautifully in protein bread, as do basil and oregano! You can also add sundried tomatoes, olives, or, well ... anything. The possibilities are endless!
Making my bread is easy too: All you need to do is round up a few basic ingredients, blend them, and pop the batter in the oven. Let's bake!
Protein Bread ///
Ingredients
- 5 egg whites
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (or cooked sweet potato!)
- 1/2 cup unflavored whey protein powder
- 1 tbsp quinoa flakes (or oats)
- 1/4 cup buckwheat flakes
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/2 cup milk (coconut milk, rice milk, or almond milk work best)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 320 degrees F (160 C).
- Using a handheld blender or mixer, blend together all the ingredients to create a smooth batter.
- Pour batter into a small bread loaf tin (I use silicone), and bake it for about 40 minutes or until your knife comes out clean when you stab the bread.
- Done!

Notes: As soon as this bread comes out of the oven, cut a slice and spread some grass-fed butter or peanut butter on top! It's delicious.
Also, soak a slice or two in eggs and milk and fry it up for protein French toast! It's amazing with Walden Farms Calorie-Free Pancake Syrup.

Yah and down the line it costs a fortune! This is much cheaper AND you can tweak the recipe to add all sorts of stuff like nuts, seeds, flax, herbs, etc.

That's not bread, it's an over-sized muffin. Try the recipe below, it'll give you a full sized loaf of 16-18 slices depending on how thin you slice it. The slices are firm enough that even thin slices won't fall apart on you. It toasts well, too. I use this recipe for everything... Loaves, hamburger buns, pita pockets, and pizza dough.

Actually, the original recipe that I tweaked to create this recipe called for 4-6 c. of gluten, but I was trying to keep the cost under $5/loaf. I've tried it with less gluten and more soy flour, but it doesn't rise as well. Also, of the "flours" the vital wheat gluten has the highest protein to carb ratio.

Ok just making sure. I have only bought the vital wheat gluten in the small boxes that I am not sure even have 3 cups in them! I will definitely give this a try as it is a true bread. Thanks for posting!

Look in the organic section of the supermarket. Around here, they carry Hodgson Mill in the baking section, but only in a 6.5 oz size, but in the organic section they carry Bob's Red Mill brand, which comes in a 22 oz bag.

What about substituting other flours in place of the whole wheat? Something like buckwheat, or, to be adventurous, even a bean powder like garbanzo? Think it'd work?

It couldn't hurt to try. The eggs and vital wheat gluten provide a majority of the structure to the bread. The whole wheat flour does as well, but not nearly as much as the other ingredients. If the bread falls flat with the alternate flour, try replacing a portion of it with either the whole wheat flour or more vital wheat gluten.

Try the baking aisle. It'll be a can of 100% pumpkin. Probably near the canned pie fillings, but make sure you're getting 100% pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling!

Yeah the baking aisle BUT remember: you can always sub the pumpkin for cooked sweet potato ;-)
natewill18
thanks guys ! depending on how much time I have, I'll try the sweet potatoes. This article has really opened my eyes to alot of high protein food options that I might enjoy instead of getting cans of tuna, chicken breasts, and beef every time I shop.
