I have been wanting to make another protein loaf for quite a while and finally got around to it this past weekend. I had three bike races but still managed to make a delicious protein treat. I won the very first race, and then came in 3rd overall between the three races. I think this bread was definitely some good recovery food!
I went with pretty much my two favorite flavors ever for this bread. Chocolate and peanut butter. I used Nuts ‘N More protein peanut butter, and some regular natural peanut butter in the batter. Then I added some chocolate chunks before baking. Once it was done and cooled, I drizzled some dark chocolate and peanut butter over the top.
This was such a sweet and delicious bread. I have been using coconut sugar lately and it has an awesome caramel flavor just like brown sugar. I really need to use coconut sugar in more of my recipes. It is such a great all natural sweetener.
One of the best parts about this bread is that each slice has 9 grams of protein. I used my vanilla combat protein powder and it enhanced the flavor as well as protein content. It is pretty much my go to protein powder for every recipe.
