An energy boost in an irresistible guise—yes, that’s our protein banana bread, or for short: BananaProt. Thanks to the bananas, the batter stays wonderfully moist, and the chocolate drops add a little extra something for those with a sweet tooth. Whether in the morning, for that midday slump, or before your workout: this BananaProt is guaranteed to bring the power back!
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 40 g Schalkolade Protein Mix Cocoa
- 125 g brown sugar or coconut blossom sugar
- 40 g dark chocolate drops
- 250 g plain flour
- 150 ml soy or almond milk
- 150 ml organic virgin sunflower oil
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2–3 tsp cinnamon
- Salt
- Baking paper for a loaf tin
Preparation
- Preheat the oven (conventional: 180°C | fan: 160°C). Either grease the loaf tin and dust with flour, or line it with baking paper.
- Peel 2 bananas, slice them and roughly mash with a fork. Place in a mixing bowl and gently mix with cinnamon, sugar, oil and a pinch of salt.
- Combine the flour, protein powder and baking powder. Stir the flour mix and the milk alternately into the banana-oil mixture.
- Gently fold in the chocolate drops. Spread the batter into the tin and smooth the top.
- Peel the remaining banana, halve it lengthwise and place it on top of the cake with the cut side facing up.
- Place in the oven and bake the BananaProt for approx. 30–35 minutes.
A little tip
If necessary, cover with aluminium foil after about 20 minutes of baking so the top doesn’t get too dark. Don’t forget the skewer test!
