Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups almond flour (225 grams)

• 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder (43 grams)

• 1/4 cup coconut sugar

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil

• 2 large eggs

• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides with coconut oil.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, whey protein powder, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until smooth and well incorporated.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
