Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder (paleo-friendly)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, or grease it lightly with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well blended.
In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until you have a smooth batter.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts to the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with your spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your high protein paleo banana bread!
