Pea Protein..... The verdict is in!
I finally finished up the nasty tasting jug of unflavoured Whey Isolate that I had been using for baking and bought a jug of Pea Protein. This stuff ROCKS! There is absolutely NO taste at all.
I baked an Almond Flour Chocolate loaf that is amazing!
I modified the following recipe:

GAPS chocolate bread
Ingredients:
Wet:
1 ½ cups mashed bananas (about 3 bananas) - I used 1 banana (1/2 cup) = 94g & 2 containers (1 cup) of Unsweetened Apple Sauce
6 Tbsp vanilla honey or (6 Tbsp honey + 2 tsp vanilla extract) - I used SF Maple Grove Syrup = 80g
3 ½ Tbsp butter or coconut oil (melted) - I used 3 tbsp Olivio Coconut Spread = 42g
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Watkins Chocolate Extract
1/2 tsp Watkins Banana Extract
1 full dropper Liquid Stevia
100g Greek Yogurt
Dry:
5 T cocoa powder
½ tsp sea salt - I used a dash
1 tsp baking soda
2 ½ cups almond flour = unblanched from Bulk Food Warehouse = 240g
2 Tbsp coconut flour = Bulk Barn = 14g
100g Now Pea Protein
Eggs whites:
3 egg whites = 95g simply white
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Generously grease 1 big loaf pan and line with parchment paper
Use a separate bowl for mixing the dry, wet, and egg whites.
Mix wet ingredients together.
Mix dry ingredients together.
Beat egg whites with hand beaters until stiff.
Combine wet and dry ingredients together until combined.
Fold egg whites into batter until all combined.
Pour bread mix into your prepared baking pan.
Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes until done.
Take out of oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Store leftovers in a container at room temp for 2 days or in the fridge for a week
Spread homemade coconut butter on top and enjoy!
*You can slip the batter into 2 small loaf pans (50-60 minutes) or muffin tins (15-25 minutes).
I was able to slice the loaf into 14 slices. My stats are as follows:
Calories 172, Fat, 11.1, Carb 10.73, Fiber 3.23, Sugars 3.66, Protein 11.77
