High-Protein Banana Bread Recipe

Banana bread, with a healthy pivot, can be achieved using whole wheat flour, vanilla whey protein powder, and unsweetened almond milk as ingredients. Alternatively, walnuts serve as an additional source of crunchiness and nuttiness. Unlike ordinary banana bread recipes that employ sugar or butter, this one uses honey and coconut oil as its alternatives. If you want more protein which is provided by whey protein in it, you may consider having it for your breakfast or probably as a nutritious snack.

  • Total Time: 70 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in eggs, coconut oil, honey, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
  5. Pour the batter into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots.

Protein Powder: Choose a protein powder that you enjoy the taste of, as it will influence the flavor of the bread. Vanilla or unflavored powders work best.

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze slices for longer storage.
