High protein banana bread

This high protein banana bread is not only delicious but also packed with protein to help you meet your nutritional goals. It's a wonderful way to enjoy a classic treat while benefiting from the added protein, making it perfect for a post-workout snack or a healthy breakfast option.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
90g
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
30g
2 bananas
240g
7 scoops whey protein powder
210g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2.10g
1/3 cup water
80g
2 tsp baking soda
4.60g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are well beaten. Add the heavy whipping cream and stir until combined.
3. Mash Bananas:
In a separate bowl, peel and mash the bananas using a fork or potato masher until they are smooth. Make sure there are minimal lumps for a smoother bread texture.
4. Combine Bananas and Eggs:
Add the mashed bananas to the egg and cream mixture. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
5. Add Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the whey protein powder to the wet mixture. It may be helpful to add it one scoop at a time to prevent clumping. Stir thoroughly to ensure the protein powder is fully incorporated.
6. Vanilla Extract and Water:
Add the vanilla extract and water to the batter, stirring to combine.
7. Incorporate Baking Soda:
Finally, add the baking soda to the batter and mix until evenly distributed.
8. Pour into Loaf Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
9. Bake:
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool:
Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve:
Slice and enjoy your high protein banana bread! Perfect for a post-workout snack or a healthy treat anytime of the day.

Tips:

- Make sure to use ripe bananas; they add natural sweetness and moisture to the bread.

- If you want to add some texture and extra flavor, consider mixing in some nuts or chocolate chips before baking.

- To avoid overmixing, combine the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in a dense bread.

- Check the bread's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, the bread is ready.

- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps set the structure of the bread.

Enjoy your high protein banana bread as a nutritious treat that satisfies both your taste buds and your protein requirements. Whether consumed fresh out of the oven or after it has cooled down, this banana bread is sure to become a staple in your healthy eating routine.
