One-bowl protein-packed Broccoli Bread

This quick and easy recipe helps you to put more veggies in your plate. Packed of protein and fiber, as well as savory flavors! Perfect for on-to-go breakfast or enjoy at tea time!

I found myself enjoy making savory recipes more often. I usually have sweet tooth for brekkie, and I do found something savory really satisfying. This recipe is very simple to make as long as you got the ready-made broccoli/cauliflower rice. I don't really like chunky broccoli but I found the riced one is very versatile. The green olives and the feta cheese in this recipe creates a nice salty and flavorful combination.

I added peanut flour in this bread which gave its nutty and rich taste. The egg white in this recipe makes the texture slightly fluffier and moister. I love eating it with more feta cheese but pairing with peanut butter and dried fruits is an excellent sweet+savory combo! You can swap the egg white to whole egg or plant-based milk to make it vegan-friendly. You can put more olives if you like your bread to be more salty. Alternatively, adding a tsp of chili flakes to give it some kicks!
