Can I use almond flour instead of oat flour?

While oat flour gives this bread a light, cakey texture, you can try almond flour, though it may result in a denser loaf. Reduce the eggs slightly if needed.

Can I skip the protein powder?

Yes! Just replace it with ½ cup more oat flour and add a splash of vanilla extract. It’ll still be tasty, though lower in protein.

How much protein is in a slice?

Each slice (based on 10 slices per loaf) contains about 9–12 grams of protein , depending on your brand of protein powder and yogurt.

What type of protein powder works best?

Whey or plant-based protein powders both work well. Choose a vanilla-flavored one for the best taste, and make sure it's unsweetened or mildly sweetened.
