I wanted to make some Honey Oat Protein Bread recently, but I realized I was out of honey. And out of oat flour. So I tried using maple syrup and quinoa flakes, and this delicious Maple Quinoa Bread was born!
I purchased the quinoa flakes a while back, but never really knew what to do with them. I suppose they would sub for rolled oats in many recipes. Here, they work well with the maple syrup in creating a subtle flavor for the bread. Just enough to cover the pea protein taste, but not too overpowering that you couldn't use it for a sandwich. I was very pleased with the results!

Hi Arianna,
The egg whites are a major ingredient here, and I don't think there would be a reasonable sub for them.
Speaking of sweet potatoes, though, have you seen our sweet potato cupcake recipe? Hopefully that can work for you! :)
Best,
Andréa

Wow this bread looks delicious! I love that you use protein powder. Do you have any recommendations for an egg substitute? I’m allergic to eggs but I would like to try it, maybe sweet potato puree or gelatin powder?
