I finally feel more “moved in” and am starting to bake and cook a lot more. I am trying to get back to the levels where I was this past winter. It is easy to slip out of it, but we eat so much better when I am making everything.
High-Protein Banana Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 cup oat flour*
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 5.3-ounce Greek yogurt, such as banana or vanilla flavored*
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°, spray or lightly oil a bread pan (9×5″).
Whisk the wet ingredients together in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients well.
Add in the wet, and stir until mixed with a spatula.
Scrape into the prepared bread pan.
Bake for about 48 minutes, until golden on top and a knife comes out clean.
Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn out. Let cool before slicing.
Store wrapped.
*Oat Flour:
Grind 1¼ cups of old-fashioned oats in a blender until they are powdered, and then measure them out.
Notes:
I used a sugar-free, high-protein Greek yogurt. Use what you prefer.
For the protein powder, use the brand you prefer. I used the type Kirk has in smoothies.
