INGREDIENTS

220g ripe bananas
120g casein protein powder (chocolate)
70g coconut flour
3 large egg whites
80g unsweetened applesauce
40g stevia or other sweetener
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease and flour a loaf pan.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a blender, combine mashed bananas, egg whites, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together casein protein powder, coconut flour, sweetener, baking soda, and salt.

Create Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.

Bake the Bread

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

Allow the bread to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Slice is too dry

Try reducing baking time by 2-3 minutes, or add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter.

Not rising properly

Check that your baking powder is fresh (less than 6 months old). Also avoid overmixing the batter.

Gummy texture in center

This usually means under-baking. Use a toothpick to test - it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.

Too dense

Make sure you're measuring protein powder correctly. Too much protein powder can make baked goods dense.
