My first protein bread with whey protein, and it came out great! This high protein gluten free bread tastes great and is easy to make!
This is a great basic bread recipe. It has a nice flavor on its own, and doesn't taste like protein powder (unlike my Pea Protein Bread, which tastes a bit like pea protein on its own). If anything, the taste of this bread reminded me of biscuits. Pretty tasty!
This is a great all-purpose, high protein gluten free bread! Give it a try! :)

Recipe
Whey Protein Bread
A delicious, high protein gluten free bread recipe made with whey protein and gluten free oat flour. The perfect all purpose bread!
Ingredients
- 12 large egg whites 396g
- 1 cup gluten free oat flour 120g
- ¼ cup whole husk psyllium 28g
- ¾ cup unflavored whey protein powder 70g
- 2 teaspoons baking powder 10ml
- ½ teaspoon sea salt 2.5ml
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F (163C).
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper (unless using a silicone pan).
- Mix all ingredients well.
- Pour into pan and bake for about 40 minutes, until firm and bread is just beginning to brown.
- Remove from oven, and let cool.
- Slice and enjoy! Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, I would not try substituting different types of protein powders in this recipe. (See my Recipe Basics video for examples of what goes wrong when you use the wrong protein powder.)
My loaf pan is 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 in. For larger loaf pans, you might want to scale up the recipe.

Hi Ken,
We don't perform shelf-life testing on blog recipes, so I can't say for sure. I think this bread would be fine if left out for a day or two, but for longer storage I would recommend refrigeration. I hope that helps!
Best,
Andréa
