Discover our foolproof recipe for a moist, protein-packed banana bread that’s perfect for a healthy breakfast, snack, or post-workout treat. This high protein banana bread is easy to make, delicious, and customizable with natural banana flavor and nutritious ingredients.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 10 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or almond flour for a gluten-free option
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly. Add the eggs, honey or syrup if using, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the ingredients for a fluffy, moist bread.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if desired. Do not overmix, as this can affect the texture.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. For an extra touch, spread with nut butter or drizzle with honey.

Notes

  • You can substitute the protein powder with additional flour or oats, but the texture and protein content will change.
  • Use almond flour or gluten-free oats for gluten-free adaptations.
  • Adding nuts, seeds, or chocolate chips enhances flavor and crunch.
  • Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Freeze slices for up to 3 months, reheating in microwave or oven when needed.
