I love making and eating banana bread, I mean, even pre-pandemic I loved everything banana bread (that is saying a lot, am I right?) I typically add chocolate chips, or cocoa nibs, sometimes walnuts, cranberries, or even pour a sweet glaze on top. However, this uber chocolaty, protein packed version cannot be beat!
*Pro tip: Add almond butter on each slice for even more protein, or simply for a good time 😉
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup oil (I’ve used coconut oil, ghee and unsalted butter – all work great!)
- 2 eggs
- 4 ripe bananas (I freeze mine and microwave them in their skins for 3 minutes)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup Orgain chocolate protein powder (use code HENNIWELLNESS11 for 30% off of your first purchase. Please note, this is for first time purchases only.)
