Notes
A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, I would not recommend using whey protein or other vegan powders here. You might try using peanut flour in place of the powdered peanut butter, but you'd probably want to add a sweetener. (See my Recipe Basics video for examples of what goes wrong when you use the wrong protein powder.)
