Unbelievably healthy pumpkin bread loaded with chocolate chips, cinnamon spices and high in protein! This fluffy loaf is made gluten-free, oil free and dairy free–a perfect Fall snack!
Today was a usual day for me. I spent a good portion of my day baking, photographing and editing. I got inspired by some Instagram workout videos and tried to do a few push-ups while waiting on some goodies in the oven. Turns out I have zero upper body strength and seriously can’t do one real push-up (you know where you go all the way down) without my arms shaking and falling out from under me.
I made this pumpkin bread using oat flour that I made myself by placing oats into a food processor (or blender) and blitzing until it’s in powder form. Making your own oat flour is not only cheaper than store bought oat flour, it’s gives a chunkier texture and in my opinion, you get more of the oat flavor in your baked goods.

Peanut Butter + Chocolate
I halved the amount of chocolate chips. Used half vanilla whey and half pumpkin spice flavor whey. Very yummy straight from the oven! My husband was impressed enough to say he would eat some, and he is not a fan at all of protein breads. He tends to rate his on a ‘butter-ability’ factor and said he would be very happy to toast slices of this and eat them buttered. Definitely a repeatable recipe, thank you!
Thank you, Vanessa! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! 🙂
Do you use 1/2 cup of chocolate chips?
Yes! Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I can’t believe no one has told me that yet 🙂 happy Valentine’s Day ?
I saw there was nothing next to the sugar per serving, do you know what that would be?
