Breakfast Banana Bread
breakfast type banana bread
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.
