Organic Unroasted Pumpkin Protein in Gluten-Free Baked Goods
Discover the future-focused solution for modern gluten-free bakery innovation
Organic unroasted pumpkin protein has emerged as a versatile plant-based protein solution for various gluten-free baked goods.
Rising consumer demand for clean label, gluten-free products is at an all-time high, and is reshaping product development worldwide. Consumer expectations, regulatory overhaul and retailer requirements are all intersecting in 2025, leaving R&D teams under pressure to innovate quickly and responsibly while maintaining full product functionality and compliance.
The high protein content, allergen-friendly profile and lower fat content (compared to other seed-based proteins) positions organic unroasted pumpkin protein as an ideal base for various formulations. From protein-enhanced dough to energy balls, snack bars, cookies, muffins, pancakes and more, this product ensures high quality, finished products.
Functionality Across Gluten-Free Formulations
Organic pumpkin seed protein powder improves overall dough quality, texture, bite and structure while maintaining stability and moisture across various gluten free baked goods. Its high protein and fiber content allow formulators to meet nutrition goals without any artificial additives, carriers, fillers or processing aids.
In bars and cookies, this product delivers a dense and cohesive bite. Pro tip: pumpkin protein balls are the perfect on-the-go snack to complement vegan and gluten-free diets!
In dough and pancakes, organic unroasted pumpkin protein improves binding, partially mimicking the structural role of gluten.
Gluten-free granola and cereals benefit from texture enhancement as well as added protein and fiber content.
Clean Label, Allergen-Free Advantages
Naturally free from gluten, nuts, soy, lactose, and dairy, Austrade’s organic unroasted pumpkin protein is highly versatile across most allergen-friendly products—not just gluten-free formulations.
For R&D teams, this means transparent product labels, simplified regulatory compliance, and the ability to confidently market bakery products as ‘gluten-free’ and ‘allergen-friendly.’
