Protein Banana Bread Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups ABV Protein Pancake mix (Feel free to swap with an alternative you may have on hand)
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed (The riper, the better!)
- 1/3 cup milk of choice (Any kind works - dairy or plant-based.)
- 2 eggs (For binding and added protein.)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (Choose your natural sweetener.)
- 1/4 cup melted butter or oil (For moisture and richness.)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (Optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan well to avoid sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of ABV Protein Pancake mix with the 3 mashed ripe bananas. Make sure these two are well incorporated before adding the rest of the ingredients. This ensures an even distribution of the banana flavor and a good base for your bread.
- Add the 1/3 cup milk of your choice.
- Stir in 2 beaten eggs, which will help bind all the ingredients together, giving your bread structure and added protein.
- Mix in ¼ cup honey or maple syrup for a touch of natural sweetness.
- Add ¼ cup of melted butter or oil to your mixture, adding richness and moistness to the bread.
- Flavour with 1 tsp vanilla extract, adding that classic, warm, and comforting taste of pancakes.
- (Optional) Fold in ½ cup of your choice of chopped walnuts or chocolate chips. This step is optional but recommended for those who enjoy having some texture or extra sweetness in their banana bread.
- Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This indicates your banana bread is perfectly baked through and ready to be enjoyed.
- Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This makes it easier to slice and serves as it helps the bread set.
And there you have it, a simple yet delicious recipe for making banana bread with a protein-packed twist using ABV Protein Pancake Mix. Whether you're making it for a quick breakfast, a nutritious snack, or a healthy dessert, this banana bread is sure to be a hit.
