Low Carb Protein Bread

Low Carb Protein Bread

Sorry for the lack of posts on the blog recently. My husband’s tournament fishing season is underway so we have spent a lot of time on the road. We travel with a camper and the campgrounds that we have been staying at haven’t had Wi-Fi. Most of the towns have been pretty remote so going to a Starbucks to work is kind of out of the question. We just returned home after 3 weeks on the road and it feels good to finally be able to blog again. Another reason for the lack of posts is the newest addition to our family, Piper, a very energetic 10 week old Airedale Terrier. (Don’t let her sweet face fool you)

Since I haven’t shared a post in a while, I figured I would share a recipe I tried out before we started traveling a good bit. Its a recipe for low carb protein bread. Its very simple to make and its not only delicious but packed with protein as well. Let’s get right to it, shall we.

Begin by adding 1/2 a cup of almond flour ( I prefer Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour), 1 1/2 scoops of protein powder of your choice (I used Quest Cookies and Cream Protein Powder), 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 2 eggs, 6 oz of egg whites, 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and stevia and cinnamon to taste. Mix all ingredients thoroughly before pouring into a greased loaf pan. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F until the bread is golden brown. The low carb protein bread does not take long to bake so make sure to check on it frequently.

The texture of this low carb protein bread came out better than I anticipated and was not dry at all. It tastes great on its own or you can add some nut butter on top or sugar-free syrup. You could also try different types of protein powder or even add unsweetened cocoa powder to switch it up. I would love to hear what variations you try.

Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies

After having some success with the almond flour chocolate chip cookies, the next logical step is to make other variations of almond flour cookies, right? My second favorite cookie would have to be a peanut butter cookie so I decided to try making an almond flour version. You can use traditional peanut butter (creamy or chunky) or whatever nut butter you prefer. I decided to go with a creamy peanut butter this time but plan to try different types of almond butter in the future.

To make these delicious almond flour peanut butter cookies, start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F.  Next, combine 1/2 cup of Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour, 1/3 cup of granulated Truvia (you can use whichever sweetener you like), 1/3 cup of peanut butter, 1 egg, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract into a mixing bowl. Mix ingredients thoroughly.

Next line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. ( I have just recently started using a silicone baking mat and LOVE it).Form balls from the dough that are about 1 inch each and place onto the baking sheet. Continue until all of the dough is used up. Next, use a fork to make the traditional crisscross pattern on top of each piece of dough.

Put baking sheet into the oven and allow to cook for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should be a nice golden brown. Remove the cookies and allow to cool 5-8 minutes. Now its time to enjoy those mouth watering almond flour peanut butter cookies!
