Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a 9" square baking pan with parchment paper, and lightly grease it with oil.
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Mix with a silicone spatula until fully combined.
- Transfer the batter to your pan.
- Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick to the center comes out clean.
- Transfer to a wire rack. Allow it to cool totally before slicing into 4 large squares.
Notes
- I have not yet tested this with whey or casein instead of pea protein.
- I'm using unsweetened almond milk today, but any kind of milk will work, such as skim milk or whole milk.
- Below is a comparison of the 3 versions: Pumpkin, Chocolate, and Banana.
