[RECIPE] Protein Banana Bread

Power up your day with a dose of protein from whey and some wholesome energy from bananas with this banana bread recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas
• 2 scoops Biogen Iso-Whey Protein, Vanilla flavour
• 50g coconut flour
• 1 egg
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

Biogen Iso-Whey Premium Protein is a protein shake with high levels of essential amino acids (EAAs) and Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). It is easily absorbed as isolated whey has been shown to have a high biological value (BV) versus most other whole food protein sources.

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a loaf pan.
2. In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Whisk in the egg.
3. Add vanilla whey protein, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the banana mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
6. Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
