A sweet and soft Protein Cinnamon Raisin Bread with no added sugar, oil or butter! This healthy cinnamon raisin bread recipe uses protein powder, stevia sweetener and applesauce too for a guilt-free loaf!

I wasn’t always a fan of raisins, so I really wasn’t expecting to love this cinnamon raisin loaf as much as I did here.

The perfect amount of sweetness with a hint of cinnamon and studded with raisins; And of course, packed with protein! What more could we want for a quick post-workout treat?

Ingredients for this Protein Cinnamon Raisin Bread

This protein cinnamon raisin bread is made with nutritious ingredients like whole wheat pastry flour and non-fat greek yogurt, and has no oil and no butter either – the perfect low fat (and slightly low carb) recipe!

Here’s the simple pantry staples you need for this perfect dessert and breakfast Cinnamon Raisin quickbread:

Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
Vanilla Protein Powder; This is the source of protein and sweetness in the protein powder Oreo bread since there’s no added sugar in this recipe.
I used a Vanilla whey-caesin blend from HTLT Supps.
Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly lower carb high protein Oreo bread. Quest here.
Some Coconut Flour
Stevia Sweetener
Unsweetened Applesauce
Non-fat Greek Yogurt for a high protein low fat loaf!
Almond Milk
Eggs
Vanilla Extract
Baking Powder

And of course:

Cinnamon
Raisins; I use a mix of Golden and regular raisins

Tips for perfect Cinnamon Raisin Loaf using Protein Powder

This protein powder cinnamon is quite easy, but here’s some tips to make sure they turn out perfect!

Use room temperature eggs, applesauce, yogurt and milk;
This is so the wet ingredients and dry ingredients can mix well.

Don’t over-mix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, the protein powder – will make it tough, dense and gummy.

Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have low sugar cinnamon raisin bread.

Toss raisins in extra flour so they don’t stick to the bottom of the loaf when baking.

How to Store Cinnamon Raisin Protein Loaf

This moist and tender protein packed cinnamon raisin loaf keeps really well and is great for a meal prep snack, breakfast or post-workout treat.

You can keep the protein powder cinnamon raisin bread out at room temperature for about 2 days in an airtight container.

For longer, keep high protein cinnamon loaf in the fridge for about a week – use an airtight container again.

To freeze the healthy cinnamon raisin bread, cut it into slices, wrap each slice in plastic wrap, and place them in a freezer-safe zipper bag.
You can even store the whole loaf itself – be sure to let it thaw before you serve.

Alternatives for Healthy Cinnamon Raisin Bread Recipe

For the perfect low fat but moist healthy cinnamon raisin bread recipe, I would highly suggest using the ingredients and protein powder brands I recommended.
I do have some alternatives you can try though. I haven’t testing them all, so I can’t say how your loaf might turn out.

Whole Wheat Pastry Flour: Use All purpose flour or 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour in the same amount by weight not cups.
Unflavored Protein Powder: More flour, but also reduce the milk to about 4 Tbsp.
Greek Yogurt: Coconut Yogurt
Applesauce: Pumpkin Puree or Mashed Banana
Almond Milk: Any other milk
Stevia Sweetener: 1:1 Zero Calorie Sugar Replacement (I recommend Lakanto monk fruit sweetener; Use my code HAYLSKITCHEN to get a discount), or Powdered Sugar
