Microwave Protein Cinnamon Bread



Can you believe something so soft and light came from a bowl that was microwaved? Well, believe it!

Ever want to make your own bread but don't want to wait for yeast to proof, dough to rise, then punching the dough down, and letting rise again? What if you could just make your own healthy bread loaf in minutes?  Well, you can, and it's super easy!

I had some leftover overnight oat bran and decided to mix some egg, cinnamon, protein powder, and stevia to give the bread a shot.  The result was nothing less than soft, fabulous protein bread that knocks any store-bought bread out of the water!

Mixing in the protein powder. A glass bowl works best for this.

Microwaves, when you think about it, are pretty darn cool.  They definitetly are not meant for shabby frozen packaged meals. Unless you like dull, unhealthy, high sodium, and unpronounceable ingredients in your meals, use the microwave for quick steaming veggies.....and making this bread!

Before microwaving....obviously

Change it up to suit your tastes/preferences too.  Maybe add ginger, nutmeg, and clove for a perfect pumpkin spice bread.  Or, mix in cocoa powder for, well, chocolate protein bread.

After the initial cooking.  I actually flipped it over in the bowl and cooked the bottom another minute since it was a little soggy.

The soft and moist consistency of this bread makes it a pleasure to eat alone, but spread with a good jam and nut butter never hurts. I like to stir a little peanut butter into plain, 0% Greek yogurt and use for an extra protein punch with flavor!

Choose your spread for this bread and let me know how you like it.  Tell the yeast you're sorry; maybe they can eat sugar and fart expel their gases in dough another day, when you have more time.



Sliced and ready for peanut butter, jam, maybe even honey ham....hmmm. Or just plain!

by RC Liley

Prep Time: 10 min

Cook Time: 5 min

Ingredients (1 Small Loaf in a Bowl)

• 1/2 cup oat bran
• 3 T pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp chia seeds; can omit and add another tablespoon of oat bran
• 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup + 2 T egg whites
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 2 packets stevia or 15 drops of liquid stevia
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• Scant dash of salt

Instructions

Add everything to a microwave safe bowl or mix in one bowl and pour into a microwave safe bowl; I used a glass bowl since it helps the heat waves to go through for even cooking.

Microwave for 4 – 5 minutes depending on how old your nuke-box is; I microwaved for 4 min and then flip the bread to cook another minute

Let cool in bowl for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool another 5 minutes

Slice or just eat it like a savage taking giant bites out at a time…..I won’t judge
