Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 Cups Unflavored Protein Powder
- 4 Tablespoons Sugar Sweetener
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ⅓ teaspoon Baking Soda
- 2½ teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
Wet Ingredients
- 4 Pieces Whole Eggs
- 1½ Cups Full-Fat Cream Cheese
- ¼ Cup Melted Unsalted Butter
- ¼ Cup Heavy Cream
- ¼ Cup EVO Oil (like avocado or light olive oil)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients and Preheat Oven: Bring all ingredients to room temperature and preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) to ensure even baking.
- Whisk Eggs and Sweetener: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and sugar sweetener until the mixture becomes light and slightly fluffy, forming the base of your batter.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the full-fat cream cheese, melted unsalted butter, heavy cream, and extra virgin olive oil into the egg mixture, blending thoroughly.
- Blend Until Smooth: Continue whisking until the entire mixture is smooth, free of lumps, and well combined for a consistent batter.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift and stir in the unflavored protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and any remaining dry ingredients until evenly distributed throughout the wet mixture.
- Pour into Loaf Pan: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or use a silicone pan, then pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top evenly for an even rise.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes at 320°F (160°C). Once baked, allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
