Ingredients

Dry:

  • 90 g All Purpose Flour (King Arthur)
  • 60 g Primal Wheat Gluten (Anthony’s)
  • 46 g Vanilla Protein Powder (Quest)
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon

Wet:

  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 300 ml Nonfat Milk (Whole Foods)
  • 113 g Plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt (Siggi’s)

Mix-Ins:

  • 60 g Pecans (chopped)

Maple Syrup Topping:

  • ½ cup Water
  • 32 g Zero Calorie Sweetener (H-E-B)
  • 30 ml Vanilla Bean Infused Maple Syrup (Runamok)

Instructions

Dry:

  • In a large mixing bowl, add in all the dry ingredients and mix.
    90 g (0.75 cups) All Purpose Flour, 60 g (0.5 cups) Primal Wheat Gluten, 46 g (1.5 scoop) Vanilla Protein Powder, 1 tsp Baking Powder, 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Wet:

  • Add in the wet on top and mix until you have a thick cake like batter.
    2 tsp Vanilla Extract, 300 ml (1.25 cups) Nonfat Milk, 113 g (0.5 cups) Plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt

Mix-Ins:

  • Fold in your chopped pecan.
    60 g (0.66 cups) Pecans
  • In a large baking dish, add your batter in an even layer. Set aside.

Maple Syrup Topping:

  • In a pot, add your water, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Give it a quick mix before placing on medium heat.
    1/2 cup Water, 32 g (8 tsp) Zero Calorie Sweetener, 30 ml (2 tbsp) Vanilla Bean Infused Maple Syrup
  • Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat and continue to stir and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Carefully pour off the back of a spoon on top of the batter. The spoon helps it from splattering and just gently pours right on top.
  • Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. It’s okay if there’s still liquid left on top.
  • Slice in to 15 pieces and enjoy on its own or add a few servings to a jar with protein vanilla ice cream!
