I love every type of holiday bread out there, but what I don?t love is all the sugars and oils packed inside! I have good news? with a wave of my wand and a little holiday magic, I literally cut the calories, fat and carbs in half (plus some) while doubling the amount of protein per slice! Oh, and did I mention it?s delicious? I bet this holiday snack will even have you fooled!

Orange Glazed Poppy Seed Bread

What you?ll need:

Bread:

1 cup white whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour
? cup vanilla protein powder (I used Cytosport 100% whey)
? tsp sea salt
? tsp baking soda
? cup honey or agave
1 whole egg
2 T coconut oil, melted
? cup unsweetened applesauce
? cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
2 tsp poppy seeds
1 tsp butter, melted
? tsp pure vanilla extract
? tsp pure almond extract

Orange Glaze:

2 Tbs fresh squeezed orange juice
2 Tbs Truvia or other natural sweetener
1 tsp butter
? tsp pure vanilla extract
? tsp pure almond extract

Let’s Bake!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease one 9-inch loaf pan.

2. Stir all dry ingredients together. Set aside.

3. Beat all wet ingredients together. Add dry mixture to wet mixture. Beat well.

4. Pour batter into loaf pan. Bake 40-45 minutes. Watch bread carefully the last few minutes so it doesn?t burn!

5. Place all ingredients for the orange glaze in a small saucepan. Stir constantly until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat. Pour evenly over hot bread.

6. Let bread cool. Store in fridge. Makes about 10 slices.

What?s in each slice:

About 100 calories; 5g fat; 10g carbs; 5g protein

**Other ?unclean? poppy seed bread macros in comparison:?About 260 calories; 12g fat; 37g carbs; 2g protein

  1. Look delicious

    What is “2 T coconut oil, melted” ? I don’t understand what the “T” means.
    Do you mean Table spoon (15 ml)?

    Also tsp means the spoon ? Tea spoon (5ml) ?

    Best Regards!

  2. I love this bread! I’ve made it three times so far including one as a gift. Everyone I served it to thinks its amazing and asked for the recipe. I love that it is a healthy bread and it’s so delicious too! Thank You for sharing this

  3. I followed your recipe and even used egg beaters rather than whole egg but when i entered in My fitness Pal calories come to 180 per serving rather than the 100 you mentioned. Smells really yummy baking but curious as to why calories are almost double.

  4. Cytosport protein powder has sucrolose in it… Isn’t that Splenda? I’d pick a different powder if you are a person trying to stay away from artificial sweeteners. Aside from that…sounds yummers!!
