Course: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: American
Yield: 8

Materials

  • 1 cup oatmeal flour
  • 1/2 cup mesquite powder
  • 1/4 cup protein powder of choice (I use unflavored, unsweetned, no artificial sweetners)
  • 3/4 cup mashed over-ripe banana
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup cacao nibs (optional)

Instructions

  • Peel and mash banana with a fork in a small bowl.
  • Add remaining wet ingredients and mix well by hand.
  • In medium bowl, mix all dry ingredients; reserving the nuts and cacao nibs
  • Add wet ingredients to dry and mix well by hand until it forms into a batter.
  • If using nuts and cacao nibs, fold into batter.
  • Pour into prepared 9" x 5" loaf pan. I grease mine with coconut oil.
  • Bake at 350* for 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Do NOT preheat oven. You want this to cook slowly.

Notes

If you want the bread to be more of a dessert, or you have more of a sweet tooth, you can replace the mesquite powder with regular sugar, or you can add in some honey or maple syrup if you want to remain refined sugar-free. 
If you don’t have protein powder, simply replace with more oatmeal powder.
