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:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Begin with your wet ingredients. In a bowl add bananas and coconut oil/butter, and mash together (using a fork or masher) until creamy.
  3. Add in Vanilla extract and egg, mix until fully combined. Set aside.
  4. In a seperate bowl mix all dry ingredients.
  5. Begin to stir your wet goods, and slowly add in dry ingredients, while keeping a consistent stir.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Pour remaining batter over top, even out. Squeeze rest of Nutella over top loaf.
  10. Bake for 26-31 minutes. Use a toothpick to test center for doneness.
  11. Let cool. Slice fresh banana and cover the outside of the loaf. Serve and enjoy!

BONUS: Banana Loaf French Toast:
