Vegan Protein Banana Bread

flour

vegan protein powder

tsp baking powder

tsp baking soda

tsp salt

tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

bananas

neutral oil

almond milk

tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175°C) and line a 8x4-inch loaf pan.

Whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the flour, vegan protein powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until everything is combined.

Mash the bananas. Peel the bananas and mash them using a fork, or transfer them to a blender and blend until smooth. The first method will give you a texture with small chunks of bananas, while the blender method will yield a smoother, more uniform texture.

Add the liquid ingredients. Next, add the mashed bananas, oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.

Mix until combined. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the liquid ingredients with the dry ingredients until combined. Do not overmix.

Stir in your add-ins. At this point, feel free to customize the batter by incorporating chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits.

Transfer the batter. Transfer the banana bread batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer. At this point, you can top it with chocolate chips or nuts.

Bake. Finally, bake the banana bread for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.

You can keep this protein banana bread for up to 5 days at room temperature. Keep it covered with plastic wrap to maintain its moisture.

This was so good! Very moist and you cannot tell there's added protein. I liked it so much that I used the same basic recipe, but substituted the banana for pureed mango and the cinnamon for cardamom, plus added some shredded coconut. So good! Thank you for a delicious and versatile recipe.

Just tried it, excellent. I used Ghost protein powder and it tasted amazing! Thank you for sharing.

High-Protein, Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

banana, ripe

peanut butter (smooth)

cottage cheese

chocolate

tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut

walnuts

vanilla

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment to prevent sticking.

Place the banana, eggs, peanut butter, cottage cheese, and baking powder in a blender or food processor.

Blend on high until you have a smooth, creamy batter with no visible lumps.

Carefully pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.

Evenly sprinkle the sugar-free chocolate chips over the top of the batter.

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50–55 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out mostly clean (melted chocolate is fine), your banana bread is ready.

Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the bread cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing to help it set.

Slice into 8 portions and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

vanilla protein powder (I used Nuzest)

sea salt

full fat Greek yogurt

mashed ripe bananas (3 medium bananas)

chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

Preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment or spray with cooking spray.

Mix dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt.

Mix wet ingredients

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: Greek yogurt, maple syrup, bananas, eggs and vanilla extract.

Combine

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips

Pour batter

Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan. Top with additional chocolate chips.

Bake

Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. It’s okay if it doesn’t come out fully clean as the bread will continue to bake in pan. Check at 30 minutes and cover with tin foil to help the top from browning too much, if needed.

I just made this today after making your oat flour banana bread every week since the recipe came out.  I wanted to try a higher protein option and I must say they taste similar but I think this one might be better.  I used Sun Warrior vanilla protein powder and I didn't have any yogurt on hand so I used sour cream! I think it really made the difference. So good!

Love it! I make this for the kids to bring as part of their lunch. I’ve made it as muffins too.

Come out perfect everytime! Do you store on counter or fridge?

This is becoming a weekly staple for our house! Making one this morning and also halved the recipe to make some muffins to share with friends! I use HU chocolate gems and smash them up a bit. Thanks for an amazing recipe!

Absolutely delicious &amp; so easy. I used nonfat Greek yogurt because that’s what I had and it turned out great. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly.

Came out delicious! Followed the recipe EXACTLY. I’m so happy to have finally found a healthy treat that I can eat whenever and that tastes good! I

Came out absolutely amazing! Mine was done in about 40 min. I like to slightly undercook.

Better than the original and packed with healthy macros, this Chocolate Protein Banana Bread recipe is easy to make and absolutely delicious!

Chocolate Protein Banana Bread

¼ Cups Rolled Oats

Tablespoons Cocoa Powder

Scoops Protein Powder (Chocolate)

¼-½ Cup Your Choice Sweetener (I used Stevia In The Raw)

½ Teaspoons Baking Powder

½ Teaspoon Baking Soda

Large Whole Egg

Teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Ounces Milk (or Milk Substitute)

½ Cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce

Banana (Ripe)

Chocolate Chips (or Anything Else *Optional)

Turn your Rolled Oats into Oat Flour by blending or processing them until they look like flour

Add all of your ingredients into a mixing bowl

Mix everything together until smooth

Lightly mix in anything else you want like Chocolate Chips (or nuts!)

Line a bread pan with parchment paper or coat it with some non-stick cooking spray

Pour your mix in and optionally top it

Put it into the oven on 350F/176C for around 35-40 minutes

This tastes like chocolate cake. Not dry at all. A guilt free snack I will be making a couple of times per month

Used coffee instead of milk with a little espresso powder for a "boost". Super moist for having minimal fat and tastes AMAZING!!

This healthy High Protein Banana Bread is packed with whole grains, fresh fruit, melty chocolate chips, &amp; no refined sugar.

High Protein Banana Bread

bananas ((about 2-3 bananas))

plain Greek yogurt

coconut sugar ((or brown sugar, packed))

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

whole wheat pastry flour

chocolate chips (divided)

Preheat oven to 350° and grease a loaf tin.

In a large bowl, mash your bananas until smooth.

Whisk in eggs, plain Greek yogurt, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract until no lumps of Greek yogurt remain and everything is well combined. Whisk in the baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.

Stir in the flour and protein powder and mix until just combined. Fold in about half the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf tin, and top with the remaining chocolate chips. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, covering halfway through with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.

After baking, allow to cool, then slice and serve!

Fabulous! 

I used all purpose flour as that's what I had. This turned out great. Wound up making two loaves as I had that many bananas to use. 

I would totally make this again.

I really loved this recipe! I used chocolate protein powder &amp; cottage cheese (blended till smooth) instead of Greek yogurt bc that’s what I had on hand &amp; it turned out delicious.

Used white flour as a straight across substitute and did not add the chocolate chips as we didn't have any on hand and the family loved it! We have made it twice now and am planning to make it again tomorrow. Thank you for posting this recipe! 

I'm wondering if you know of a way to make it Gluten Free? I am avoiding gluten and would love to be able to eat it as well =)

This is such a great recipe for protein banana bread! I dabble in making protein snacks a few times a week and I’ve never felt super satisfied with any recipe until now. I made a few adjustments to accommodate what I already had so I know I was increasing room for error but this still came out so good! I used 1/4 cup Greek yogurt instead of 1/2 cup, no sugar!, 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder, and about 3tbsp of cacao powder. 
I have a big sweet tooth and was so happy with the outcome (without extra sugar). The subtle sweetness of the banana was perfect. Light and smooth. With the addition of the cacao powder this reminded me of a light Mexican chocolate bread that I loved eating growing up. 10/10 thank you for this!!
