Chilly weather? Check. Leaves changing? Check. Pumpkin flavor craving? Check!

If you’re ready for fall and have the urge to make every dish with pumpkin flavoring like me, this Pumpkin Protein Bread Recipe will be your best friend this season.

It can be tricky to find the right pumpkin bread to compare with the one your mom, grandma, or even local baker makes, but this recipe just might do it. With a few ingredients and a little luck, you can make the most delicious pumpkin protein bread for your friends and family … or just for you!

Now, pumpkin bread is not always the most macro-friendly … but this Pumpkin Protein Bread recipe offers over 8 grams of protein per serving! A lot of this protein comes from a couple of scoops of Phormula-1 protein powder. The bread in total provides about 144 calories in each delicious slice.

Now, does this mean it's going to be the best option to help you reach your goals? Certainly not. However, it's a lot better than any other pumpkin bread you could have ... that's for sure.

To make this pumpkin protein bread make sure you have a can of pumpkin, Phormula-1 protein powder, almond milk, blue agave (or you can substitute honey/ maple syrup), eggs, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Once you have gathered all these ingredients, it is pretty simple to make after that! Just mix everything together and sit patiently for about an hour while it bakes. Then enjoy!
