Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated apple and chopped walnuts gently with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
