Dry Ingredients
- 1¾ cups Protein Pancake Mix (or any just-add-water pancake mix, 210g)
- ½ cup Vanilla Protein Powder (45g, Whey-casein)
- 1 Tbsp Pancake Mix (for coating blueberries)
Wet Ingredients
- ⅔ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (160ml)
- ¾ cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt (168g)
- 2 Eggs
Add-ins
- 1½ cups Blueberries (220g)
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8½” x 4½” loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the protein pancake mix and vanilla protein powder until well blended.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the almond milk, non-fat Greek yogurt, and eggs to the dry mixture. Whisk gently until just combined; be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the loaf dense. The batter should be fairly thick—add 1-2 tablespoons of water if too thick or an extra tablespoon of pancake mix if too runny.
- Prepare Blueberries: Place the blueberries in a separate bowl. Sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon of pancake mix and toss to coat thoroughly. This step helps prevent the berries from sinking to the bottom of the bread while baking.
- Fold Blueberries into Batter: Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter, taking care not to over-mix so the batter stays light.
- Fill the Loaf Pan: Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Reserve a few blueberries to scatter on top for a decorative finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it. Then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Do not over-mix the batter to avoid a dense bread texture.
- Coating the blueberries with pancake mix prevents them from sinking during baking.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other milk of your choice.
- Ensure the loaf is completely cool before slicing for best texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
