Can I use plant-based protein powder instead?

You can, but the texture might get gummier. If you're going vegan, try pea protein powder and add 1 extra tablespoon of oat flour to balance it out. The bread will be denser but still delicious!

My bread sank in the middle - what went wrong?

Oh honey, I've been there! Usually it means either your baking soda was old, you overmixed the batter, or you opened the oven door too soon. Next time, check your soda's freshness by dropping some in vinegar - if it doesn't bubble furiously, toss it.

Can I make this without eggs?

Absolutely! Swap each egg for 1 tablespoon chia or flax seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until gooey before adding. The bread won't rise quite as much, but it'll still taste amazing.

Why did my protein powder clump up?

Protein powder can be sneaky like that! Always whisk it thoroughly with the other dry ingredients first. If you spot lumps later, just press them against the bowl's side with the back of your spoon - no one will ever know!

Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?

Sure thing! All-purpose flour works fine, but you'll miss out on some fiber. If using regular flour, reduce the amount to 1 1/4 cups since it absorbs moisture differently. The texture will be slightly lighter and more cake-like.
