This High Protein Gluten Free Banana Bread is absolutely a new staple in our household. It’s loaded with protein, simple to make & the kids love it. It’s the perfect way to start your day. As a current nursing mom, I’m looking for healthy, filling foods and this High Protein Gluten Free Banana Bread is just that. I’m someone who is always down for a treat so I definitely added chocolate chips. However you could skip that and make the bread sugar free too. Any add in works like nuts, raisins or even chia seeds for an added bonus. For the kids sake (and mine) chocolate chips works perfectly. For the protein powder, I used my favorite clean chocolate peanut butter protein powder (code EVERYDAYCHIFFON will give you 10% off) for added chocolaty goodness. If you’re looking for something loaded with protein and flavor, try this High Protein Gluten Free Banana Bread. It does not disapoint. Original recipe found at Chocolate Covered Katie.
