Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran, all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the cake dense.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, cut the cake into 12 equal squares to serve.
