Description
Fall season means pumpkin season, and this pumpkin loaf is full of protein, and with a good amount of fiber and healthy fats too. It's a great breakfast or dessert that I think you'll enjoy. You should also try my other fruity protein cakes, such as Protein Banana Nut Bread, Protein Apple Bread, or Layered Protein Carrot Cake.

Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a 9x5" bread pan with parchment paper, and lightly grease the paper
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients until well combined - pumpkin puree, nut butter, sweetener, and water (or milk)
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients until well combined - oat flour, whey protein, powdered peanut butter, chia seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, salt, and nutmeg
- I've used 1 tsp (5 g) of liquid monk fruit here as my sweetener, but other good options are 1 tsp (5 g) liquid stevia, 2 tbsp (40 g) honey/maple syrup/sugar free syrup, or 2 tbsp (25 g) granulated monk fruit
- Note that my powdered peanut butter is unsalted and unsweetened. If yours is salted, either halve or omit the salt
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix until just fully combined. Transfer the batter to the pan
- Bake at 350F for at least 60 minutes, or a toothpick to the center comes out clean, and the internal temperature is around 205F. Let cook on a wire rack before slicing
