Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (200 grams in total)
- 1 egg
- 2 egg whites sub with 1 whole egg
- 80 grams (⅓ cup) Greek yogurt
- 30 grams (2 tbsp) nut butter almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 100 grams (1 cup) oat flour sub with preferred flour
- 50 grams (½ cup) defatted almond flour sub with more oat flour
- 50 grams (½ cup) protein powder see notes*
- 2 tsp baking powder
Optional Ingredients
- 40 grams (¼ cup) chocolate chips sugar-free
Instructions
- Heat oven to 170 Cº (340 Fº) and fold a 20 cm (7.9 inches) loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash two ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Add to the mixture egg, egg whites, Greek yogurt, nut butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt. Stir with a whisk or fork for about two minutes, or until all is well combined and you get a smooth batter.
- Mix in oat flour, almond flour and baking powder. When the flours are incorporated into the wet mixture, scoop in protein powder and gently give it a stir. Do not over-mix protein powder. Optionally fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake in hot oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of your protein banana bread comes out clean.
- Remove the banana bread from oven and let cool in the loaf pan for a few minutes. Finally, remove from the pan and let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Protein powder choice. This high protein banana bread recipe can be prepared with whey protein powder, vegan protein powder or casein. In case you use plant based protein powders or casein, the batter may require additional milk to get smooth.
- Protein powder flavor. This recipe uses vanilla flavored protein powder. If your protein powder is unflavored you may need to fix the sweetness with additional sweetener.
- Storage instructions. Wrapped well, this protein banana bread will stay fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature. For longer storages, refrigerate in a food container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
