Peanut Butter & Banana Energy Bread

I like to pack bananas with my lunch everyday but I tend to buy too many and I’m left with a couple ripe bananas at the end of the week.  I hate to waste these so I make banana bread on a regular basis.  I came up with this healthy version and I love it!  The bread is packed with protein and is really moist.

Ingredients
  • ⅓cup coconut oil
  • ½cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1cup mashed bananas2 large bananas
  • ¼cup milk of choice
  • 1teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4cup peanut butter protein powder
  • ½teaspoon salt
  • ½teaspoon ground cinnamonplus more to swirl on top
  • ¾cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1cup almond flour
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, beat the oil, honey and peanut butter together. Add the eggs and beat well, then add in the mashed bananas, milk and vanilla and beat until combined.
  2. Add the baking soda, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Lastly, switch to a big spoon and stir in the flour, just until combined (Lumps are ok).
  3. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and sprinkle cinnamon on top – if you’d like a swirled effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
