Protein Banana Bread Recipe

It might not be 2020 anymore, but I’ve never been able to shake the love for banana bread. The sweet smells wafting through the house, knowing I've normally always got a spare slice going. Spending my days wondering if I should have my next piece with peanut butter or chocolate spread...

And with three scoops of Impact Whey Protein, this banana bread recipe is loaded full of both protein and flavour.

Can you meal prep banana bread?

Banana bread is a solid option for you to prep for the week ahead. That way you’ve always got a macro-friendly snack on hand when you’re on the hunt for a sweet treat.

How to store banana bread

Once cool, move your banana bread to an airtight container and leave in a cool place. Whenever you reach to grab a slice, make sure to reseal the container afterwards.

In an airtight container banana bread should last for up to four days.

Best bananas for banana bread

The best bananas for banana bread are those that are past their best. Not only do these bananas have a stronger flavour, but they’re softer and easier to mash, improving the overall texture of the banana bread.

Best way to mash bananas

I find that the best way to mash bananas, without leaving too many lumps, is with a fork. Alternatively, you can use a hand blender to whiz up you bananas into a smooth paste.

How to make banana bread moist

This banana bread recipe is moist thanks to the eggs and the freshly mashed bananas. But to keep the banana bread moist in the days after baking, make sure to store it properly in an airtight container.

How long to bake banana bread

This particular banana bread recipe takes between 20-30 minutes to cook. You can test if it’s cooked by placing the end of a knife into the middle of the banana bread. If the knife comes out clean, it’s all done.

Once cooked, make sure to allow the banana bread to cool in its tin for about 20 minutes before removing.

Variations and add-ins

While this banana bread recipe uses sultanas, there are plenty of ways to mix it up.

  • Add peanut butter for a nuttier taste
  • Add some chopped walnuts for a hidden crunch
  • Switch up the flavour of Impact Whey Protein, Cinnamon Danish is my personal favourite.
  • Stir in some chocolate chips

Equipment needed

  • Fork
  • Electric or handheld whisk
