Home Made Cinnamon Swirl Protein Bread! mmm

So I have been eating healthy and came across the fabulous recipes on bodybuilding.com. Here is a link to the actual recipe. Anyway, this bread is soooo good and filling! It is great after a workout or to dunk in your morning coffee, or pretty much anytime of day. I have made a few of Jamie Eason's recipes and this one is by far the best (they all are pretty yummy though!)

Here is the Info (my comments are in parenthesis):

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup Ideal (Xylitol) (ordered mine on Amazon, but I think you can use Truvia)
• 2 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup Ideal (Xylitol) or ¼ cup Stevia in the Raw
• 2 egg whites
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (Almond Breeze)
• 1/3 cup or 1 4oz jar of baby food applesauce and ¼ cup low sugar vanilla yogurt (optional) (I did not use the vanilla yogurt)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 8 X 8 inch Pyrex dish with non-stick spray.


2. In small bowl combine: (set aside)

• 1/3 cup Ideal (Xylitol)

3. In a large bowl combine: (whisk together)

• 1 1/2 cups oat flour + 2 scoops vanilla whey protein
