Made with high-protein bread, eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla protein powder, this sliceable loaf packs over 30g of protein per serving while remaining moist, flavorful, and easy to prepare. Perfect for meal prep or a nourishing morning treat, it’s equally enjoyable warm or cold, topped with fresh berries, yogurt, or maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 slices high-protein bread (such as Dave’s Killer Bread or Carbonaut), cut into large cubes
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup liquid egg whites (about 10 egg whites)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • ¾ cup plant-based milk (such as almond milk)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings (optional)

  • Additional Greek yogurt
  • Fresh berries (such as raspberries or blueberries)
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare your pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure the bread pudding can be removed easily after baking.
  2. Make the custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, liquid egg whites, Greek yogurt, plant-based milk, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Soak the bread: Add the cubed high-protein bread to the custard mixture and let it soak for 5 to 10 minutes, gently stirring occasionally to make sure all pieces are well-coated.
  4. Fill the pan: Pour the soaked bread and custard mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press the mixture down lightly with the back of a spoon to ensure even baking.
  5. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is fully set.
  6. Cool and slice: Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan. Then, carefully lift it out using the parchment paper and slice into six servings.
  7. Serve: Enjoy warm or cold, topped with your choice of additional Greek yogurt, fresh berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra flavor.

Notes

  • To add a fruity twist, fold fresh or frozen berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or chopped apples into the mixture before baking.
  • Experiment with flavors by adding orange zest, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice for a seasonal touch.
  • Use flavored protein powders like cinnamon roll, vanilla cupcake, or chocolate for variety and enhanced taste.
  • For individual portions, bake the mixture in a muffin tin instead of a loaf pan.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze individual portions wrapped tightly for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or toast in a toaster oven before eating.
