Notes
- The protein pumpkin loaf needs to cool fully in the oven to finish baking and to firm up, don’t remove it early.
- For the loaf to be paleo, make sure to choose a paleo-approved protein powder. Otherwise it will just be dairy-free and gluten-free.
- You can add pecans or chocolate chips on top prior to baking.
- If you're unable to use Botanica protein powder, I'd suggest using Naked Nutrition Vanilla Pea Protein.
- Store it in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container.
- Tastes best eaten at room temperature with some dairy-free butter or peanut butter melted on.
- If you’re using a fermented protein powder you’ll want to add 1-2 tablespoons of dairy-free milk to the batter. Otherwise the pumpkin loaf will come out too dense.
- Likewise, make sure to use a paleo protein powder if you need it.
