This protein banana bread would be the perfect pre or post workout snack and is perfect for anyone; it’s gluten free, vegan, dairy free and Save Banana bread is a great gift to bring to a friend that has just had a baby or moved into a new home. It’s also the perfect thing to bake on Sunday afternoons so you can enjoy it post dinner and as a morning snack. Banana bread out of the oven; I have yet to find a candle that mimics that smell. It’s just heavenly! And this protein banana bread delivers. The heavy cinnamon smell grabs your attention first, only to be followed by that distinct banana smell that makes you want to just drool. Adding hemp hearts on the outside and protein powder to the batter gives this banana bread gold stars in my book. Protein helps you stay full longer, it’s also important to pair things like banana with protein or fats, to ensure that your blood sugar does’t get too wacky. The banana, flax, coconut flour, and oat flour add substantial fiber to this dish, making this the perfect breakfast! Save You will notice there are 4 bananas in the recipe, and this makes the bread a little denser than most banana bread recipes I’ve had in the past. There are also no eggs to help the protein banana bread rise, so you will get some height with the baking powder, it won’t grow quite as much as traditional banana bread. To tell if the banana bread is done, you will want to press down lightly on the top of the bread. If it feels firm, it’s likely done. Allow the bread to cool before slicing. My favorite way to enjoy this protein banana bread is toasted (the toaster oven makes this so easy) and slathered with cinnamon raisin peanut butter. Oh I die! Almond butter would also be a great option as well!
