ZUTATEN

Portionen
  • 3 large, very ripe bananas (the riper the bananas, the sweeter the protein-rich banana bread)
  • 60 g maple syrup
  • 60 g melted coconut oil
  • 50 ml plant-based milk alternative
  • 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 5 tbsp hot water)
  • 200 g wheat flour
  • 30 g chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • optionally some oil to grease the baking pan
  • optional: a handful of chopped nuts of your choice
  • Toppings (optional): 1 banana, chocolate chips, coconut chips
  • Notes:Missing an ingredient? No problem! Further below you’ll find a substitution chart with alternatives for the listed ingredients!If your bananas aren't super ripe yet (you’ll recognize it by their increasingly brown skin), your high protein banana bread might not taste sweet enough – just add a little more maple syrup or another sweetener to the batter.Tip for experimenters: By using other protein powders like banana or hazelnut, you can try out entirely new flavors!

Zubereitung

1 Preheat your oven to 180°C convection.
2

Prepare your flax egg: Mix the flaxseed with hot water and let it soak for 10 minutes.
3 In the meantime, mash the bananas with a fork.
4 Put all the wet ingredients into a bowl and mix them together.
5 Add the dry ingredients and stir well until you have a smooth batter.
6 That’s almost it: Grease your loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour in your batter, smooth it out, and add your desired toppings: a lengthwise-sliced peeled banana, some chocolate chips or coconut chips.
7

Into the oven – bake your protein banana bread for about 1 hour on the middle rack. To check if it’s done, use the classic toothpick test: insert a wooden skewer into the bread – if there’s still a lot of batter sticking to it, it needs more time; if the skewer comes out mostly clean, your delicious bread is ready to eat!

Recipe Note

Tip: If your protein banana bread browns on top before the baking time is up, you can cover it with some aluminum foil.

Substitution Chart

How often do we want to recreate a recipe, but we’re missing certain ingredients or dislike individual components? For that, we’ve created a substitution chart so you can adjust the recipe just the way you like it! Simply swap individual ingredients as you wish!

  • Chocolate protein powder → neutral protein powder, banana/… protein powder or flour

  • plant-based milk alternative → any plant-based or animal milk

  • wheat flour → oats (best processed into “flour” using a blender)

  • flax egg → chia egg or chicken egg

  • coconut oil → neutral oil, nut butter

  • cinnamon → omit or use other ingredients like cocoa or vanilla

Our protein banana bread is vegan, but of course, you can also use animal-based ingredients if you prefer!



FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Is protein banana bread healthy?
Our fitness banana bread recipe with protein contains lots of important nutrients like fiber, healthy fats, and protein. We also avoid added sugar! Sure, the banana bread is calorie-dense, but that’s not a bad thing – it just means it provides good energy when eaten!


Why add protein powder to banana bread?
The protein powder not only makes your porridge more filling but also provides an extra dose of high-quality protein. It helps you maintain your energy level and supports your muscle metabolism.


Can I replace or omit the protein powder in the recipe?
Yes, check our substitution chart. You can easily replace it with flour. But beware: Then your protein banana bread becomes regular banana bread and no longer contains that extra dose of protein.


Does heating damage the protein powder?
No, you can bake your banana bread with our protein powder with peace of mind. The proteins are not lost, and you still benefit from the good properties of the protein powder.

Is protein banana bread actually bread?
No! The name protein banana bread is a bit misleading. It’s actually more like a cake. Protein banana cake would be a more accurate name.
