Gluten Free Fluffy Nutella Protein Banana Loaf
Soft, Delicate, Moist and will fill your soul with macro goodness.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe Bananas
- 1/3 cup Coconut Oil or Butter * I mix both together, 2 tbsp of each
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon (optional)* adds a nice balance to the sweetness.
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Sugar (optional)
- 1 scoop + 2 Tbsp Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1/2 cup Gluten Free Flour
- 1/4 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1/8 Tsp Salt
- 4 Tbsp Nutella
- 1/2 fresh Banana, sliced
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Begin with your wet ingredients. In a bowl add bananas and coconut oil/butter, and mash together (using a fork or masher) until creamy.
- Add in Vanilla extract and egg, mix until fully combined. Set aside.
- In a seperate bowl mix all dry ingredients.
- Begin to stir your wet goods, and slowly add in dry ingredients, while keeping a consistent stir.
- Mix until fully combined and thick. Taste test. If it doesn't satisfy your sweetness, add in your coconut sugar. If you want it to be creamier, add in 1 tbsp of softened butter or coconut oil.
- Now its time to make our Nutella infuser! In a ziploc bag, add your 4tbsp of Nutella. Force it all to a corner( imitating a pipping bag) and cut the tip of your ziploc. Set aside.
- Grease a loaf pan using cooking spray or coconut oil. Pour half of batter inside and even out. Using your Nutella infuser, squeeze Nutella over batter. Use half of your Nutella portion. * squeeze in long straight lines or in a “S” pattern.
- Pour remaining batter over top, even out. Squeeze rest of Nutella over top loaf.
- Bake for 26-31 minutes. Use a toothpick to test center for doneness.
- Let cool. Slice fresh banana and cover the outside of the loaf. Serve and enjoy!
