High-protein, delicious and chocolatey, this is the ultimate banana bread! You may have made dozens of loaves during lockdown, but banana bread is the perfect way to use up those brown bananas at the bottom of the fruit bowl. Also, I bet you’ve never made it this way before!
This recipe is completely flour free, instead using the Fuel 10k Complete Meal for a smooth chocolate flavour. And just like The Complete Meal – this will keep you fuelled throughout the day and can even be eaten for breakfast! What more could you want?
Makes 1 loaf
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of butter
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract/flavouring
- 2 cups of Fuel 10K Complete Meal (chocolate flavour)
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180C and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
- Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe dish until completely melted (this takes roughly 1 minute on a high heat) before adding the bananas and mashing with a fork.
- Once smooth, add both eggs and vanilla extract before using the same fork to combine. There should be no yellow streaks of egg remaining.
- Through a sieve, add the baking powder and complete meal to the bowl. Then, add the sugar and salt before using an electric whisk on a low setting to combine all the ingredients.
- Once smooth, pour the batter into the pre-prepared loaf tin and bake for around 50 minutes. A way to see if the loaf is cooked is by inserting a skewer into the middle. If it comes out clean – it’s done!
- Allow to cool for half an hour before topping with some melted chocolate (optional) and covering each slice in big helping of Fuel 10K chocolate peanut butter.
