Chocolate Toffee Protein Bread - Just So Good

Delicious and nutritious Chocolate Toffee Protein Bread is the perfect treat for any time of day. Rich with chocolate protein powder, cocoa and toffee bits, and healthy with no oil or extra sugar.

I bought a bag of Heath toffee bits to make that Healthy Better than Sex Cake recipe a few weeks ago, and really really wanted to do do something else with the chocolate and toffee combination. 

This recipe makes a whole loaf with the chocolate and toffee flavor so it tastes amazing. Whether you're looking for a healthy snack or a delicious treat, this chocolate toffee protein bread is sure to please.

It's moist, delicious, and packed with protein. Plus, it's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients for Chocolate Toffee Protein Bread

This Chocolate toffee protein bread is made with simple and healthy ingredients; Packed with protein from protein powder and non-fat greek yogurt, and has no sugar or oil.

• Chocolate Whey-Casein Protein Powder; This is the source of protein and sweetness in the low sugar chocolate zucchini bread since there's no actual sugar in this recipe. I use Quest Nutrition Chocolate here.
• Unflavored Whey-Casein Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs). I use Quest Nutrition Multipurpose Mix here.
• Whole Wheat Pastry Flour - or a regular all purpose flour
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• Stevia Sweetener
• Applesauce to add in moisture and have a no oil recipe
• Non-fat Greek Yogurt 
• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Eggs
• Vanilla Extract
• Baking Powder
• Baking Soda

And for the toffee vibe:

• Toffee Flavor Drops/Extract
• English Toffee Bits: I used the regular ones from Heath

How to make Chocolate Toffee Bits Bread with Protein Powder

This chocolate loaf with health bar toffee is super easy to make, but here's some pointers to get it right.

1. Sift cocoa powder to prevent lumps.
2. Whisk all dry ingredients well (flour, protein powders, cocoa, stevia, baking powder, baking soda) so there are no clums of flour
3. Whisk wet ingredients well (applesauce, yogurt, milk, eggs, vanilla, toffee extract) to prevent any chunks of yogurt in the batter.
   Use room temperature yogurt, milk and eggs.
4. Add dry mix to wet and fold to combine.
   Don't whisk or over-mix the or the chocolate toffee loaf will be too dense and gummy because protein powder can make a batter tough.
5. Grease baking pan and line with parchment paper so the loaf does not stick to pan.
6. Pour ⅔ batter into baking pan
7. Spread most toffee bits as a layer.
8. Pour remaining ⅓ batter.
9. Bake at 350°F for 55-60 minutes.
   Cover protein packed chocolate heath bar bits bread with foil tent after 30 mins of baking to prevent the top from browning and burning.
10. Cool for 5 minutes, sprinkle remaining toffee bits on top.
