2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients, cake mix, protein powder, Splenda, baking soda, cinnamon and brown sugar.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients, vegetable oil, egg whites, whole egg and milk.
5. Gently mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. DO NOT OVERMIX. Stir them together until they are combined.
6. Divide the mixture evenly between the 8 trays of the mini loaf pan. Then bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Let the loaves cool for 5 minutes; they should then be easy to remove from the pan. Add a little butter to each one for a nice finish.
