Ingredients
- 12 oz. cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup butter melted
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp. xanthan gum
- 2 ½ tsp. baking powder
Dry
- 1 2/3 cup unflavored protein powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease or spray a 9” x 5” pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese, melted butter, olive oil, whipping cream, vanilla and eggs. Blend with a handheld or stand mixer for 30 seconds. Scrape down and blend for 1 minute.
- In a small bowl or plastic baggie, add the baking powder and xanthan gum. Mix together thoroughly.
- Shake a portion over the liquid ingredients and blend. Continue shaking the baking powder/xanthan gum mix over the liquid and then blending with the mixer, until all the mix is gone and incorporated into the liquid ingredients.
- In a flour sifter, add the protein powder, baking soda, salt and cream of tartar. Sift over the wet ingredients.
- Stir by hand just until all the dry ingredients are mixed in.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Protein powder is an important ingredient in this recipe - nothing will directly substitute.
- Make sure to sprinkle the gum and baking powder over the liquid ingredients first.
- Mix the batter just until it's combined.
- Enjoy this bread as-is or it makes a delicious sandwich.
