Naked Cake is a protein pancake mix BUT my mind instantly went to donuts! My kids’ favorite breakfast is donuts and since we are usually rushing around in the mornings I rarely make them.
Enter Naked Cake Protein Pancake Mix…FAST DONUTS!
All you need is the protein mix, water, melted butter, monk fruit sweetener (or any sugar) and cinnamon. The entire process from mixing the batter to baking the donuts and covering in the cinnamon-y sugar goodness takes less than 20 minutes.
This is seriously the quickest and most protein packed donut recipe EVER! You can thank me later. 😉
Are you curious about the bonus recipe? Ya, it’s a goodie too!
Naked Bake is a premium gluten free banana bread protein mix that you mix with water to create various recipes like smoothies, muffins, bread, or pancakes. One serving of this mix has 15g protein, 5g sugar, 17g carbs, and 180 calories. Plus, there are no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors!
When I saw this mix I knew I had to make a few fun mini loaves of my favorite cinnamon and sugar banana bread. Instead of one large loaf I made two smaller loaves stuffed with cinnamon and sugar, well monk fruit sweetener. 😉
Cinnamon Swirl Protein Banana Bread Ingredients:
5 servings of Naked Bake Protein Mix (10 scoops)
8.5 ounces water
3 Tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
How To Make Protein Banana Bread:
Make the banana bread batter as stated on the package. Spray two small loaf pans (6″x 3″) with non-stick cooking spray. Pour 1/4 of the batter in each pan. Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of the cinnamon and sugar mixture over each batter then pour the other 1/2 of the batter evenly over each cinnamon and sugar mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon and sugar mixture over the top of each batter. Bake at 350F for 25 minutes.
