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
- Sliced bananas for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking during baking.
- Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, which will serve as the natural sweetness and moisture base of the bread.
- Mix Ingredients: Add protein powder, almond flour, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, honey, and almond milk to the mashed bananas. Stir and mix thoroughly until the batter is well combined and smooth.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter evenly into the greased loaf pan and arrange sliced bananas on top for added flavor and decoration.
- Bake Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baked banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool before slicing. Serve and enjoy your protein-packed healthy banana bread.
Notes
- Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk.
- Check the protein powder type used to ensure flavor compatibility; vanilla or unflavored works best.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with oat flour if desired.
