Reviews
I have made this bread 3 times now. First time I made it, I didn’t have oat flour, so substituted with all purpose flour. The 2nd and 3rd I made with oat flour. While the all purpose is good and the oat flour is much better. At a high altitude I did have to bake for 45 minutes to make sure it was cooked through. At 35 minutes I ended up with a under cooked center. But the recipe itself is great! My husband and I both love it. To give even more protein we spread peanut butter on it.
It turned out really well! I didn’t add any sugar because the protein powder I used was already sweetened and I also added 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to make it more chocolatey.
