Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup protein powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup almond milk
Topping
- Sliced bananas for topping
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to ensure the banana bread does not stick during baking.
- Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth to form the base of the batter.
- Mix Ingredients: Add protein powder, almond flour, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, honey, and almond milk into the mashed bananas. Mix all ingredients well until the batter is uniform and lump-free.
- Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan evenly, then carefully arrange sliced bananas on top to create a flavorful and attractive topping.
- Bake the Bread: Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the banana bread cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps retain moisture and makes slicing easier. Serve and enjoy your protein-packed treat.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- You can substitute almond flour with oat flour or whole wheat flour if preferred.
- If you want a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Store banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips to the batter.
