Notes
For best results, measure ingredients by weight (when given)
*Any pea protein powder will work (for best results measure by weight). If you're using an unsweetened protein powder, you may want to add an extra tablespoon or two of monk fruit sweetener. Use my affiliate discount code "bakeitpaleo" for 15% off any Nuzest purchase.
