Peanut Butter Protein Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
* 1 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder (or your favorite protein powder)
* 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
* 1/2 cup rolled oats
* 1/4 cup honey
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Optional: chopped peanuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, peanut butter, and protein powder. Mix until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, honey, and baking powder.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts or chocolate chips on top of the batter.
8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Variations:

* Chocolate Chip: Add 1/4 cup chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet and indulgent treat.
* Coconut Boost: Add 1/4 cup shredded coconut to the batter for a tropical twist.
Tips and Tricks:
* Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
