Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 0.75 cups raisins
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, protein powder, instant yeast, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water (about 105°F), honey, egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air pockets and transfer it to a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Cover the dough again and let it rise for an additional 20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy this healthy, high protein, cinnamon raisin bread on its own or with your favorite spread.
