Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup whey protein powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3/4 cup plain whole milk greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh fruit
  • Chopped nuts

Directions
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, almond flour, whey protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until everything is well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, buttermilk (or buttermilk powder and almond milk), Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined; don’t overmix, a few small lumps are okay.
  4. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes
  5. Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease a standard loaf pan (about 8.5 x 4.5 inches), lining it with parchment if you’d like easy removal.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
  7. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the pancake bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, and chopped nuts, if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or slice and freeze for quick grab-and-go mornings. Reheat slices for 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave for the best texture.
