Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.- 3
Stir all ingredients together and smooth the batter into the pan.- 4
Bake 40 minutes.- 5
Turn off the oven, but do not open the door, not even a crack. Leave the protein banana bread in the closed oven for an additional 5 minutes.- 6
If the bread is not cooked in the center, cover the top with tin foil and continue baking until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.- 7
Let cool, then go around the sides with a knife and invert onto a plate.- 8
If you can wait, the taste and texture are even better the next day!Note- I like using Flavcity Vanilla Creme Protein Smoothie for this recipe.
- Use sugar-free chocolate chips to keep this diabetic-friendly.
- Can substitute olive oil for avocado oil.
- Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour mixture (I like Bob's Red Mill) or add 3/8 teaspoon xanthan gum to regular gluten-free flour.
