This “breakfast” loaf is a new and exciting way to increase your broccoli intake, especially if you struggle to include vegetables with your morning meal.

Broccoli also contains vitamin C and flavonoids, powerful antioxidants that can further boost brain health.

Protein Broccoli Breakfast Loaf
13 slices
Prep time:
15 mi + 45 min cooling time
Cook time:
45 - 50 min
Ingredients
Broccoli Breakfast Loaf
- 2 cups riced broccoli
- 5 pasture-raised eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup psyllium husk
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup filtered water
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Chop washed broccoli into pieces, you could include the stems but discard the leaves. Place broccoli in a food processor, and pulse until it forms the texture of rice.
Step 2
Separate yolks and egg whites and whip egg whites on high using a mixer or hand mixer until stiff.
Step 3
In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients along with the egg yolks. Mix with the broccoli and water until combined. Add more water if necessary but do not exceed ½ cup. Remember, you will be adding the egg whites so this might feel a bit dry.
Step 4
Gently fold egg whites into the bowl with the yolks and fold until combined.
Step 5
Grease a loaf pan with a bit of avocado or coconut oil and pour batter in, smoothing with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the loaf is browned on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before slicing. Serve with your favorite spread or by itself.
