LOW FAT PUMPKIN BREAD
Mix in one bowl:
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 cup almond flour
1 TBSP cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 scoops vanilla whey protein
Mix in another bowl:
3 egg whites
1/2 cup low fat Ricotta cheese
8 oz pure canned pumpkin (this is about 3/4 cup)
3 packets of Stevia <-- this is up to you. Add more if you like things sweet, less if you don't. If you are a Splenda user, this would equal about 1/2 cup Splenda.
2 oz of water. (more or less to make a batter consistency.)
** Optional: chopped up walnuts, or a handful of chocolate chips. Just remember that whatever you add will change the macronutrients.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips would be AMAZING in this!
Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Spray an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking pan with no-stick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 - 17 minutes.
When a toothpick comes out clean, they are done. Better to undercook them a tad, than to overcook, or they can be pretty dry.
Cut into 9 pieces.
