Protein Banana Bread Recipe

ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas smashed
• 2 heaping scoops of Shaklee Vanilla Plant Life Shake (don't just use a protein powder, the Shaklee powder is a full meal replacement that bakes well, we carry this at our studio)
• 3/4 cup liquid egg whites
• 2 whole large eggs
• 2 tsp extra-virgin coconut oil
• 2 tsp real butter (or skip this and add as topping when you re-heat and eat, natural nut butters make great toppings, too)
• 1/2 heaping cup (47 grams) oat flour
• 2 tbsp coconut flour
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp sea salt
• 8-12 drops of Sweat Leaf Liquid Stevia Drops (Stevia Clear)
• Optional: 1 cup frozen blueberries

Baking Directions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2: Melt the coconut oil in oven while it's heating up (don't forget to add to the recipe though).

Step 3: Heavily coat all sides of a Pyrex bread pan with coconut oil using a paper towel.

Step 4: Smash the bananas in a bowl.

Step 5: Combine all dry ingredients and mix.

Step 6: Add wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir. Don't forget the coconut oil in the oven.

Step 7: If adding the optional frozen blueberries, thaw in the microwave for 45-60 seconds. The added liquid from thawing will add to the bread mixture

Step 8: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is a dark golden brown. Let it cool in the bread pan.

Step 9: Once cool, flip over the pan onto a cutting board and cut into 8 slices.

Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 6 days. It also freezes well.
