- In a large bowl, mash the bananas and combine with the egg until you get a smooth mixture.
- Add protein powder, cocoa powder, coconut flour and a pinch of salt, then mix well until you get a smooth brownie batter. Depending on the type of protein powder used, you may need to add as much as 80 ml (⅓ cup) of milk : start with 1 to 2 tbsp and add as much milk as required to get a smooth batter.
- Transfer the banana protein brownie batter to the prepared brownie pan, then bake in hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes Let cool completely at room temperature before slicing.

Notes
- This banana protein brownie recipe can be prepared with any type of protein powder - for mine I used chocolate flavored soy protein. However, depending on your choice this recipe will require different quantities of milk: less for whey and more for casein or vegan protein powder.
- As this recipe uses chocolate flavored protein powder in combination with bananas, there is no need for additional sweeteners. If using unflavored protein powder, instead, you may need to add a couple tablespoons of maple syrup or honey to your liking.
