Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Any chance this could be made with almond flour? I’m just starting to use almond flour so don’t really don’t know how it stacks up to all purpose when baking
Hi Shelbie! I haven’t tried it with almond flour, but I think it would be just fine. Almond flour tends to be a bit drier, so you may need to add a little extra liquid!
Do you have to add the protein powder or is it okay not to add?
Hi Janie! Yes, it should be fine if you forgo the protein powder. I would just recommend replacing it with additional flour. Let me know how it goes!
Are your macros for the whole loaf or by serving? Thanks!
Hi Natalie! That’s per serving.
