The first published banana bread recipe appeared in 1933 in “Balanced Recipes of Pillsbury’s Cooking Service ” by Mary Ellis Ames, the former director of the Pillsbury Cooking Service.
Since then, there have been thousands of adaptations of this sweet, delicious recipe. Why? Banana bread is one of the easiest baked goods to make, and with so many variations to try, it’s likely you won’t ever get bored making it. You can add apple slices, dark chocolate chips, coconut flakes and even—protein!
What makes banana bread one of our faves is that it’s a “quick bread” (leavened with baking powder), and is one of the easiest things to bake from scratch. For this recipe, we’re pumping it up with a little protein powder. Protein helps build muscle and repair tissue. Bananas, of course, contain nutrients, including vitamin B6, vitamin C and potassium, a mineral which is important for helping lower blood pressure.
This bread comes out moist and sweet, plus it has healthy ingredient swaps such as coconut sugar, Greek yogurt and almond flour. Bonus: The vanilla protein powder will help keep you satisfied longer than your traditional banana bread.
