Apple Fiber Loaf
 
Makes 8 slices @ 5.5 grams protein, 7 (total, not net) carbs, 0.6 grams fat per slice

 
 Ingredients:
50 grams apple fiber (about 1/2 cup)
40 grams (about 1/2 cup) of protein powder- I used vanilla whey
60 grams (or 1/4 cup) canned pumpkin
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/2 tsp pure stevia (or to taste)
1 tsp baking powder, cinnamon to taste
 

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350-375 degrees. (I had it at 350 but ended up turning it to 375 halfway through). Spray a loaf pan with nonstick baking spray.
 
Mix all ingredients.
Pour into loaf pan, bake for about an hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
