This High-Protein Banana Bread is a moist and tender gluten-free loaf enriched with Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder for a balanced, energy-boosting snack.
1 ½ cups mashed overripe bananas
1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 cup blanched almond flour
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit and line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment.
2. Whisk together mashed banana, melted oil, sugar, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla.
3. Sift in gluten-free flour, almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined.
5. Stir in chocolate chips or walnuts if using.
6. Pour batter into pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes until a tester comes out clean.
8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes then move to a wire rack for 1 hour.
Use very spotty, brown bananas for the best sweetness and moisture.
If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil at the 45-minute mark.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
