Best Banana Protein Bread...EVER.

greeneyes972 · July 2014

I finally have stumbled across a protein recipe that doesn't suck- I've made this twice this week already. I'm in loooove.
I found it on Bodybuilding.com and I added in a few things to spruce it up while not adding to the calories.

265g very ripe bananas- mashed well
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I have/used cinnamon graham cracker, worked well)
2 egg whites
3 whole eggs (I used the 3 egg equivalent of egg beaters)
1/2c skim milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2c oats (it calls for rolled, but all I have is quick oats, still worked)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp of baking powder

Preheat oven to 325. Whisk the eggs & milk in with the mashed bananas until combined well. Mix dry ingredients and whisk in with the banana mixture. Pour mixture (it'll be pretty runny) into sprayed loaf pan and bake 35-45 mins (until knife put in middle comes out clean).
It doesn't rise a ton like regular bread, it's pretty dense when it's all said & done. I didn't add any, but it would be good to sprinkle some walnuts or chocolate chips on top too!

Bump - Add 1 tsp baking powder and based on other reviews use one less egg and grind the rolled oats first before adding to mixture. 3 small bananas is approx. 265g.
