Chocolate + orange is a combo people either love or hate. Well I’m a total lover and I hope that there are many more of you out there who love this combo too!
I made this using the new Halloween limited edition Choc Hoo-range protein powder from @macr0mike and it worked a treat. If you don’t have this protein powder, you can just use a chocolate flavour one and add a tsp or orange essence too.
This high protein bread is moist, sweet, rich and zesty all at once and if you love choc orange, you will definitely love this!
Here is the recipe:
7-INGREDIENT VEGAN CHOC ORANGE PROTEIN BREAD
MAKES: 8 slices ( per slice: Cal: 250, P: 12, C: 33, F:8 )
INGREDIENTS:
Dry:
-
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
-
1/2 cup coconut sugar
-
1/3 cup cocoa powder
-
30g vegan dark chocolate, chopped
-
1/2 cup vegan chocolate protein powder ( I used @macr0mike Choc Hoo-range)
-
*optional: add 1 tsp of orange essence if you are using plain chocolate protein
Wet:
-
2 x medium oranges, peeled (~450ml juice)
-
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
-
*optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
Choc topping:
-
60g vegan dark chocolate
-
1 scoop vegan chocolate protein powder
- **optional: almonds for decoration
METHOD:
1. Preheat the oven to 160 ℃/ 320 ℉, fan-forced and line a loaf tin with non-stick paper.
2. Combine all the dry ingredients
3. In a blender, add all the wet ingredients, and blend until smooth. Pour this wet mixture into the dry and use a spatula to gently fold until no flour remains. Do not overmix.
4. Transfer the batter to the prepared tin. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until a knife inserted comes out clean
5. Allow the loaf to fully cool before frosting. You may wish to put it in the fridge for a bit so that the top of the loaf is cold and the choc topping will set quicker when it goes on.
6. Make the chocolate topping by melting the chocolate until smooth then stirring in the protein powder until it all dissolves.
7. Pour the choc topping over the loaf. Sprinkle on top some decorations – I used chopped almonds
Storage tips: in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for months.
Happy baking guys! Sending much love <3
