Recipe // Protein Banana Bread
3/09/2015
For full disclosure purposes, I received some protein powder from Monkey Nutrition for free in return for an honest review. I am not being paid to talk or advertise their products. All opinions of the product are my own.
So, last weekend on Mine and Phillips weekly shopping trip/Costa trip, we usually have a cake/sandwich of some sort and a drink. It was quite early on in the morning and I decided to try out their Mini Banana Loafs. It was fab, I won't lie. However, the nutritional value on the loafs for what you actually get was pretty poor.
So, I recently received some protein powder from Monkey Nutrition and I didn't want to only take the protein powder in shake form. I wanted other ways to incorporate protein into my diet and therefore decided that baking would be a good option.
So, that is where my Protein Banana Bread was born! I had a look online for what sort of ingredients I might need for the banana bread and subbed in some healthier ingredients.
Granted, this isn't going to taste as moist and fluffy as a banana bread that is full of butter and sugar, but I think it tastes really great. The banana flavour is there, the outer crust of the bread has an almost crunchy exterior and then the inside of the bread is soft and chewy.
So, lets get onto the Ingredients and Recipe for my Protein Banana Bread! I did a video for this recipe too if you would prefer to watch the process rather than read it! :) You can find the video at the bottom of this post or click HERE.
