👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
-
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, applesauce, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
3
In a separate medium bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
-
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Fold in the finely diced apple.
-
5
In a small bowl, toss the chopped walnuts with the remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
-
6
Pour the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the coated walnuts over the top.
-
7
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
8
Let the loaf cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes, then use the parchment sling to remove it and transfer to the rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
💡 Notes
For best moisture, use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt. Ensure your protein powder is a blend (whey/casein) for best baking results. Store cooled loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Freezes well for longer storage.
