Ingredients
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup white whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup canned 100% pure pumpkin
- ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup avocado oil or other neutral-flavored oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Whisk both types of flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Whisk the pumpkin, yogurt, eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla together in another large bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined (do not over-mix). Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top, if desired. Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at the 40-minute mark, as you don't want the bread to dry out. If the top is browning too quickly, tent the top loosely with aluminum foil.
- Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then, remove the bread and cool completely on wire rack. Slice and serve.
Notes
- When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Over-mixing can make the bread tough and dense.
- When baking with protein powder, the bread can brown faster than usual. If you notice the top getting too dark, tent it with foil to prevent over-browning.
- Protein powder can cause baked goods to dry out if baked too long. I recommend checking the bread at the 40-minute mark to ensure it stays moist.
- You can transform this recipe into pumpkin protein muffins by dividing the batter into a muffin tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- For added crunch and texture, you can sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top of the batter before baking.
