In another bowl, whisk whole wheat flour, unflavored protein powder, vanilla protein powder, coconut flour, baking powder and cinnamon
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until combined. DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder and gluten from wheat flour will make the bread dense.
Pour ½ batter into prepared loaf pan, spread chopped chocolate, pour ¼ batter (half of remaining), place dollops of almond butter or cookie butter on top (swirl around slightly), pour remaining ¼ batter.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, covering with a foil tent after 40 minutes.A toothpick inserted into center should come out dry.
Cool for 15 minutes, then lift out of pan using the lining. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes and cut into slices.
