Love your banana bread but want to make it that little bit higher in protein... here's how!
This is what you will need:
*we used light greek yoghurt
What to do:
Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees
Line a loaf pan with baking paper and oil spray lightly
Whisk all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl mash the ripe bananas until puree-like
Add in wet ingredients to the banana, whisking until smooth
Slowly bit by bit, whisk in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Do not add all in at once as it will clump.
optional: Fold in your chocolate chips or nuts.
7. Transfer mixture to the lined loaf tin
Bake for 55 minutes or until a chopstick comes out of the loaf clean
If you notice the top browning before the entire loaf is cooked, cover with foil and continue cooking
8. Take out of the oven and let cool. Slice and Enjoy!
