HIGH PROTEIN BANANA BREAD

This gluten free bread is just lightly sweet. The banana and coconut oil lend moisture while the quinoa or millet flour adds a boost of protein and flax jumps in with a hit of omega 3 goodness. Great toasted with a bit of nut butter or jam.

Time 45m

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups bananas, mashed (about 4 bananas)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla powder
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 1/4 cups water or 1 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut milk
3/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1 cup quinoa flour or 1 cup millet flour
2 tablespoons flax seed meal (ground flaxseed)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (warmed to liquid form)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Turn on your oven to 350 degrees F to preheat.
  • Combine all ingredients in bowl of your stand mixer.
  • Mix on low speed until everything is incorporated.
  • If the mix seems dry, add about 1/4 cup of water and mix again. We are looking for the texture to be tighter than pancake batter but not as firm as a regular bread dough.
  • Prepare a loaf pan by lightly rubbing coconut oil on the interior surfaces.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Look for bananas with yellow or brown skins with a few black spots.
  • Use a combination of flours: Using a blend of all-purpose flour and almond flour or oat flour can add extra flavor and texture to your banana bread while also making it more nutritious.
  • Add protein powder: To boost the protein content of your banana bread, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. Whey protein, pea protein, and brown rice protein are all good options.
  • Use Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is a great addition to banana bread as it adds moisture, richness, and protein. It also helps to keep the bread moist and tender.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your banana bread tough and dense. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the banana bread at a moderate temperature: Baking the bread at a moderate temperature (350°F/175°C) allows it to bake evenly without overcooking.

Conclusion:

High-protein banana bread is a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a moist, flavorful, and protein-packed banana bread that everyone will love.
