  • 5 small dates or for KETO OPTION: 2 tsp Swerve Erythritol sweetener
  • 1 scoop PaleoPro Pumpkin Protein Powder

Instructions
 

  • Line a bread loaf pan* with parchment or foil.
  • Process nuts, dates (or Swerve), PaleoPro Pumpkin powder, coconut cream and egg white in a blender.
  • Add up to 1 Tablespoon of water if needed for batter to ball up in food processor.
  • Spread evenly into square pan.
  • Sprinkle Hemp Hearts evenly on top.
  • Bake at 350ºF for 20 minutes. Let cool. (If using Egg White Protein Powder, omit this step, no need to cook).
  • Place in freezer to firm for 20 minutes.

Notes

Since PaleoPro Pumpkin Spice protein powder may be a seasonal item, you can use their Aztec Vanilla flavor.
The recipe fits to spread batter evenly, approx. 1/4" thick onto the bottom of a bread loaf pan.
