ULTIMATE HIGH-PROTEIN BANANA BREAD

This ultimate high-protein banana bread is a deliciously nutritious treat, offering an impressive 30 grams of protein per serving to fuel your day and support muscle recovery. Rich in wholesome ingredients like ripe bananas and protein-packed additions, it provides a satisfying balance of moist, tender crumb and a subtly sweet, banana flavor that melts in your mouth. The dense texture is complemented by a hint of natural sweetness, making it a perfect indulgence that aligns with your fitness goals. With its balanced macros—high in protein and moderate in healthy carbs and fats—it’s ideal for post-workout recovery or a nourishing on-the-go snack. You can enjoy this bread warm with a smear of almond butter or sliced fresh, or even use it as a portable breakfast for busy mornings. For those with dietary restrictions, it can easily be made gluten-free by using almond or coconut flour, and vegan options are simple by substituting plant-based protein powders and flax eggs. For best results, ensure your bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture, and don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender. This versatile loaf is perfect for meal prep, allowing you to batch cook and have a high-protein snack ready to go anytime hunger strikes.

INGREDIENTS

  • 250g ripe bananas
  • 80g whey protein isolate (unflavored)
  • 50g micellar casein (vanilla)
  • 60g almond flour
  • 40g coconut flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 100g Greek yogurt
  • 50g erythritol or sweetener of choice
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1

Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan thoroughly.

2

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Whisk in the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth.

3

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine whey protein, casein, almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and cinnamon.

4

Mix Batter

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. The batter will be thick.

5

Bake to Perfection

Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.

6

Cool and Enjoy

Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

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.
