Looking for the ultimate powerhouse snack that will not only keep your hunger and cravings at bay but will also keep your energy up? Have I got the recipe for you: protein banana bread.
In case you missed it, I had previously dabbled in making a super simple flourless cottage cheese bread, and as delicious as this was, I knew I could make it so much better. And there is only one thing I could think of to make it better: BioTRUST Low Carb Protein Blend.
I don’t know about you, but it never fails: I always end up with a few overly ripe bananas at the end of every week. My little ones are hit or miss when it comes to produce. One week, they can’t get enough bananas. Then the next, they suddenly don’t like them anymore. Lucky for me, I am pretty creative when it comes to not wasting food.
Adding cottage cheese creates a creamy texture and a protein boost, while bananas bring natural sweetness and moisture. Seems like a no-brainer for this healthy bread, especially when I am probably going to toss in a few chocolate chips for the little ones to entice them to try it!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 cup almond flour or flour of choice
- 1/2 cup BioTRUST Low Carb Lite Protein Blend
- 2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350° F, and line a banana bread pan (or loaf pan) with parchment paper or grease with oil.
- Mash bananas with cottage cheese, egg, honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until there are little to no lumps.
- Add in Low Carb Lite Protein Blend, almond flour (or oat flour), and baking powder. Stir the ingredients together.
- Add mixture to prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes. The banana bread is good to go when a toothpick inserted into its center comes out clean.
- Slice and enjoy!
