Protein Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 3 large or 4 small very ripe bananas (the more brown spots the better)
• 1/3 cup coconut oil, room temperature
• ¼ cup Stevia in the Raw
• ¼ cup Organic Agave Syrup
• 1 organic egg, room temperature preferred
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups Scottish Oats (ground oats) or Oat flour
• 1/2 cup (1 Scoop) vanilla whey Protein
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup chopped Walnuts

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. First, grab an egg and measure out the coconut oil so that they can be coming to room temperature. Coconut oil will solidify if allowed to cool and not mix well in the recipe. If necessary, heat the coconut oil until very soft or liquid (this will take seconds). Prepare a loaf pan with cooking spray and dust with flour to prevent sticking. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine bananas, coconut oil, Stevia, egg and vanilla. Mix on slow and increase to medium speed until smooth and well blended. In another bowl, fork or whisk together the Oat flour, protein powder, baking soda and baking powder. Turn the mixer to low speed and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until all ingredients are combined. Stir in the chopped nuts. Pour batter into loaf pan. Bake for approx 30-35 minutes or until a knife in the center comes out clean.
