Flourless Banana Bread - + Protein

Flourless Banana Bread w Protein

This Flourless Banana Bread is a gluten-free, naturally sweetened, and healthy alternative to traditional banana bread.

Ingredients (Serves 8-10)

3 large ripe bananas (mashed)

2 ½ cups rolled oats (or 1 ¾ cups almond flour for a grain-free version)

**Add protein: use ½ cup Scho Fit Nutrition Protein Powder in place of ½ cup either form or natural flour. Use Vanilla.

2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan)

⅓ cup date syrup syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

Since this flourless banana bread uses oats (or almond flour), it will be denser and more moist than a traditional loaf. Here’s how you can bake it:

Pan size

• Use a 9x5-inch loaf pan (standard banana bread pan).
  
  
• If you prefer a thicker loaf, you can use an 8x4-inch pan, but baking time will be a bit longer.
  
  

Baking directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
   
   
2. Lightly grease your loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
   
   
3. Mash bananas in a large bowl.
   
   
4. Blend oats in a blender or food processor until they resemble flour (unless using almond flour).
   
   
5. Add eggs (or flax eggs), date syrup, and oat/almond flour to bananas. Stir until combined.
   
   
6. Optional add-ins: 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ½ tsp baking soda, ¼ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
   
   
7. Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
   
   
8. Bake for 45–55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
   
   
9. Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
