Applesauce Pecan Protein Bread

Delicious applesauce bread with a twist.   Adding whey powder increases the protein and decreases your guilt. I loved this bread.  It had a nice cinnamon taste with a crunch of roasted pecans.  We ate a slice for breakfast with some almond milk.  It felt like we were cheating but I knew it was full of yummy goodness!!
