Life-changing Excessive Protein Banana Bread
Do you ever crave banana bread? The just about intoxicating scent that fills the home whereas it’s baking, the deliciously dense texture, and completely candy flavour? I do. Sure, I certain do.
Banana bread is certainly one among my favourites and I’m revamping this recipe but once more for the weblog at the moment… I actually really feel it’s a recipe that may be modified so some ways and at the moment I’ve severely taken it up a notch. Did somebody say cashew cream cheese frosting?!
This bread is scrumptious, tremendous moist, dense, hearty, and filled with protein, advanced carbohydrates, and a pleasant quantity of wholesome fat.
Years in the past I’d at all times order the “reduced-fat, healthy” banana chocolate chip espresso cake at Starbucks (earlier than I knew any higher!) however now I nearly at all times make my very own at residence. That banana bread was scrumptious, however in the future my curiosity received the most effective of me and I seemed up the dietary particulars on the Starbucks web site and let’s simply say, like typical, “reduced fat” = “a crap-load of sugar” and severely, there’s completely nothing mistaken with dietary fats in any case, so the entire “reduced fat” label (particularly when one piece continues to be 400 energy) is simply plain foolish. An ideal instance of misleading food-industry advertising and marketing.
I made a decision shortly after my Starbucks awakening that I’d have to search out or create a greater, extra balanced and wholesome banana bread. To my delight I stumbled throughout a recipe from Brittany at Little B’s Wholesome Habits that appeared like start line (she has since made her weblog personal and it may possibly’t be accessed anymore!).
Brittany’s recipe for top protein banana bread was filled with protein from the addition of whey protein powder and Greek yogurt. Sadly, as a consequence of my dairy allergy I can’t do both so as an alternative I’ve created a pair diversifications based mostly off of Brittany’s banana bread recipe which are dairy free and comprise plant-based protein powder and egg whites to usher in a large amount of protein.
What Makes This Banana Bread Excessive Protein?
The beauty of protein packed banana bread is that it helps maintain blood sugar ranges secure which might in flip stop sugar cravings. After I used to work with vitamin shoppers I’d at all times assess their each day protein consumption (particularly if sugar cravings had been a difficulty) and it was wonderful how usually cravings and senseless snacking would disappear when protein consumption wasn’t missing.
Wholesome dietary fat can even assist with cravings as they make you are feeling extra glad, full, and sluggish the discharge of sugars into the blood stream. The cashews within the scrumptious dairy free cream cheese frosting for this banana bread usher in wholesome fat (and a few extra protein!), and mix completely with vanilla protein powder, a contact of vanilla extract, maple syrup, and almond milk.
The frosting is completely non-compulsory for this recipe because it makes the loaf extra indulgent and a contact messy (however actually, does that even matter when it tastes so darn good?!).
