1/2 cup applesauce
120g
1.50 tsp cinnamon
3.90g
3/4 tsp ginger
1.35g
1/4 tsp spice mix
1/2g
5 oz greek yogurt
140g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g
2 eggs
110g
1 egg white
33g
1/2 banana
60g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
2 tsp baking powder
9g
1 tsp stevia leaf sweetener
3g
5.50 scoops whey protein powder
160g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Oats: Blend the oats in a food processor or blender until they resemble a fine flour.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, spice mix, salt, baking powder, and whey protein powder. Mix well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs, egg white, mashed banana, and stevia leaf sweetener until you achieve a smooth consistency.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until fully combined; the batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
6. Pour into Baking Pan: Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the gingerbread comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the gingerbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Slice and enjoy your protein-packed gingerbread! It makes a great snack or a delicious breakfast treat.

Tips:

- Ensure to blend the oats into a fine flour before mixing to achieve a smoother texture in your gingerbread.

- Use ripe bananas as they add more sweetness and moisture to the gingerbread.

- Do not overmix the batter to ensure a light and fluffy texture. Overmixing can lead to a denser gingerbread.

- For an extra touch, consider adding a small amount of molasses or honey for additional flavor depth.

- Allow the gingerbread to cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.

- You can store the gingerbread in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze it for longer shelf life.

Protein gingerbread is not only tasty but also packed with beneficial nutrients. It’s the perfect option for a post-workout snack or a guilt-free dessert. The combination of protein, fiber, and spices makes it a delightful choice to indulge in.
