This high-protein vanilla pound cake is a game-changer for anyone seeking a sweet treat packed with protein—without the sugar rush. Whey protein powder and Greek yogurt provide serious muscle fuel, while oat and almond flour keep the crumb moist and tender. Bright vanilla and a hint of almond extract give classic pound cake vibes, and using monk fruit sweetener keeps it light. Enjoy a slice post-workout, for breakfast, or as a guilt-free dessert. Plus, it looks and slices like a traditional pound cake, making it perfect for sharing or meal prep.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly spray a loaf pan (8x4-inch) with nonstick spray and line with parchment for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together protein powder, oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk eggs until light and frothy. Add Greek yogurt, applesauce, almond milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and sweetener. Whisk until smooth.
Fold wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can toughen the cake.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then lift out and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
