Ingredients
Scale
- 3 overripe bananas
- 1 cup protein powder (whey or pea)
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 0.5 cups nut butter (optional)
- 0.5 cups sweetener (e.g., maple syrup)
- Mix-ins (optional, e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Mash the three ripe bananas until smooth in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the protein powder, all-purpose flour, and baking powder until they’re well combined.
- Add the nut butter and sweetener to the mixture, stirring until smooth.
- If using any mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use overripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. You can substitute nut butter for applesauce to make it nut-free or use almond flour for a gluten-free version.
