110g Protein Banana Bread

protein banana bread

Does anyone else struggle waking up in time to make breakfast? While it's always best to try and eat whole vegetables, healthy fats, and protein in the morning, it's not always practical on time.

When I know I have a busy week ahead, I make this protein banana bread (modified from Kodiak Cakes Power Muffins recipe) to take on the go. With 110 grams of protein in the whole loaf, and 10 grams to each slice, this bread keeps me full and focused for all my morning's obstacles.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Buttermilk Mix

• 2 1/2 overly ripe bananas

• 1 cup cashew milk (or alternate nut milk)

• 2 scoops collagen peptides *optional (18g protein source)

• 1 egg (or sub flax egg)

• 3 TBS hemp seeds

• 2 TBS chia seeds

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• Unsweetened Organic coconut flakes *optional

• Spray baking oil (I used coconut oil spray)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 360 degrees.

2. Add ripe bananas to large mixing bowl. Mash with whisk or baking mixer until bananas are at preferred consistency.

3. Add Kodiak Cake mix, cashew milk, and egg. Blend thoroughly.

4. Add collagen peptides (if using), hemp seeds, chia seeds and cinnamon. Blend thoroughly.

5. Spray 9X5 bread baking pan with oil and lightly coat all sides and bottom with flour. Pour in mixture, smoothing into pan and topping with coconut flakes if preferred.

6. Bake at 360 degrees for 35-40 minutes. To test if bread is ready, poke long toothpick into center and see if it comes out clean. If batter sticks to it, bake longer.

7. Serve with almond butter and fresh fruit for a healthy morning source of protein and fat.
