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.
