Pecan Pumpkin Protein Oatmeal Bread Recipe

I saw this copy cat recipe for a pumpkin bread using oat flour and protein powder and I thought it would be a great way to get some protein in bread form cause I love bread and it's an excuse to try this recipe. I used about 1/2 cup of baked pumpkin mash. I wouldn't know how it would be to use actual pumpkin puree but I guess that would work too.  Any vanilla whey protein powder can be used. This bread is dense and really great just after it's been baked. I would say keep in the fridge for 3-4 days and top with nut butter.
