Banana bread has always held a special place in my heart. It’s that comforting, go-to snack or breakfast that feels like a warm hug—but as someone who avoids eggs and prioritizes gluten-free, nutrient-dense recipes, finding the perfect balance between flavor, texture, and health can feel like a challenge.
That’s why I’m excited to share this protein-packed banana bread recipe with you. It’s made with Truvani protein powder, gluten-free oat flour, and wholesome ingredients, so it checks all the boxes: delicious, nutritious, and incredibly simple to make.
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with coconut oil.
Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. These are your natural sweetener and moisture base!
Mix the Wet Ingredients: Add the melted coconut oil and maple syrup to the mashed bananas. Stir well until fully combined.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Sifting ensures a smooth, lump-free batter.
Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir gently—don’t overmix, or the bread may become dense.
Optional Add-Ins: Fold in your nuts or seeds for added texture and healthy fats.
Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Slice: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, slice and enjoy!
Note: Values may vary slightly based on specific brands of ingredients.
