Ingredients:
- 3 medium bananas, very ripe, mashed
- 60g unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 150g sugar or natural granulated sweetener (adjust to 100g for less sweetness)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 30g almond milk
- 155g all-purpose flour
- 50g Vanilla or Salted Caramel protein powder
Method:
- Start by preheating your oven to 175°C (350°F) and greasing a loaf tin for baking.
- In a large bowl, use a fork to thoroughly mash the ripe bananas. Mix in the melted butter until well combined.
- Add the baking soda and salt to the banana mixture, then stir in the sugar, beaten egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract until everything is evenly mixed.
- Fold in the protein powder and flour, mixing just until no dry spots remain to prevent overworking the batter.
- Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, with only a few dry crumbs attached.
- Allow the bread to cool before slicing and serving. Wrap any leftovers tightly to maintain freshness.
