PROTEIN BANANA BREAD

Well... This is a treat for me and hopefully for you as well. It went down quickly in my house 😄 Although any kind of food in our house goes down quickly and it results in more than one weekly food shopping a week. If that makes sense 😃

Anyway, here`s my lush creation  - PROTEIN BANANA BREAD ↓↓

The recipe itself is quite simple and I did a swap from regular flour to coconut flour which is lower in carbs comparing to other flours and high in protein and fibre, making it a very absorbent flour. This means you need so much less of it than you would use regular flour. And yes, Little goes a long way this time!

Ingredients:

65g Coconut flour

50g Protein powder

2 Bananas

20g Honey

1 Whole egg

2 Egg whites

150g frozen Blueberries or any other fruit (I used only 100g but felt it wasn`t enough)

1 Tsp Vanilla extract

1 Tsp Baking soda

½ Tsp Baking powder

1 Tsp Cinnamon

Method:

Line your loaf tin with baking paper and preheat the oven to 180℃.

Mash the banana`s into a pulp and then add all the wet ingredients - honey, eggs & vanilla and mix it all together.

Then add all the dry ingredients - flour, protein, baking soda and powder, cinnamon and mix it all together again.

At the very end add blueberries or any other frozen fruit you prefer and carefully mix them in the batter.

Pour it in the tin and bake for about 40-45 minutes but make sure you check it time by time.

Poke the middle with a toothpick to make sure it is ready. (if batter sticks on the stick then it needs more baking)

Once ready, leave it for 30 minutes to cool and then remove from the tin and slice.

Serve with anything you prefer.. protein spread maybe? Although, it is delicious enough to enjoy it on its own with a cup of tea or coffee. 

I sliced my bread in 10 slices which meant each slice was only 100 calories. Did you do your maths right? Yes, the whole thing is 1000 calories and can be very dangerous if left without guard 😆

If you get around to make one of this lush protein bread, share them on Instagram and feel free to tag me in the photo as well. I wanna see! 😍 For my account follow here.
