Chocolate Banana Protein Bread (Gluten-Free)
This sweet protein bread is like a cross between the best protein banana bread you’ve ever had and the most delicious Protein Brownie on earth.
It may sound over the top but trust us on this, it’s a sensation! It’s also completely family-friendly, as it uses only the healthiest most nutritious ingredients; no cane sugar, refined flours or oils, shortenings or butter, bulk ingredients, artificial sweeteners, or flavourings involved here!
This is the kind of bread that fans of banana bread and brownies lose their minds for. It sounds ridiculous for us to big it up so much we know, but seriously, it’s a ridiculous loaf of bread.
Talk about having your cake, while eating it too! The bread is also perfect for the whole family to enjoy as a healthy treat that actually doesn’t TASTE healthy but actually is! The bread freezes really well too. Just make it, let it cool, eat what you like, and freeze the rest if you want! Or cut it into 10 to 12 slices, freeze them all, and just defrost a slice a day to enjoy with your morning or afternoon coffee ? Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients
80 grams ground gluten-free oats (or oat flour)
60 grams whey protein powder
60 grams coconut flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or honey)
2 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 eggs (or 4 egg whites)– whisked
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 mashed over ripe bananas
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
100 grams dark chocolate drops (75 grams for the bake, and 25 grams to sprinkle on top before baking)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 170C and grease or line a loaf tin.
2. Mix together all your dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk.
3. In a large bowl whisk together the honey/maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Add the mashed bananas and mix to combine.
4. Gradually add the dry mix ingredients & chocolate drops to the wet ingredients – gently fold in until combined.
5. Pour the mixture in to the tin, and use the remaining chocolate drops to sprinkle on top of the loaf and press down. Bake for 40mins, check with a toothpick to see if the bake is cooked – if it comes out clean it’s done. Remove from the oven, leave in the tin for 5mins to cool then transfer to a wire rack to cool down.
Macros per slice (out of 10): 200kcals, 22g carbs (out of which 4g is fibre), 10g protein, 9.6g fat.
Note: if you’d like to bring the kcals and carbs down more, just ditch the chocolate buttons! And feel free to substitute the honey or maple syrup with your lower-carb alternative of choice.
