📋 Instructions
- Prep oven & ingredients:
Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. - Whisk eggs & sweetener:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with sweetener until light and fluffy, but still liquid. - Add wet ingredients:
Mix in the cream cheese, melted butter, heavy cream, and oil. Whisk until completely smooth. - Incorporate dry ingredients:
Add protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk again until the batter is smooth and no dry spots remain. - Bake:
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for about 40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. - Cool:
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
🧑🍳 Tips for Best Results
- Room Temp Matters: For a fluffy texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
- Loaf Pan Options: A silicone loaf pan works best, but a metal one lined with parchment paper is just fine too.
- Protein Powder Note: Unflavored whey or egg white protein works great—avoid flavored or sweetened powders.
