This protein banana bread is a healthy snack that is so easy to make. With protein from greek yogurt, eggs and protein powder, this simple gluten free banana bread is perfect to meal prep for the week!
This protein banana bread is so soft and tender, gluten free and has over 10 grams of protein per serving, compared to 2-3 in traditional banana bread.
All you need is one bowl, about 10 minutes of prep time and a few simple, pantry staple ingredients to make this recipe.
Healthy Protein Banana Bread
It’s perfect for a quick on the go breakfast, post-workout snack or even a healthy dessert. It requires no fancy equipment, just one bowl and a whisk! If you love this recipe, try my chocolate protein cake next!
Banana. Very ripe and spotty brown bananas are what you need for this recipe. The riper the better, which means your bananas will be very sweet.
Greek Yogurt. The greek yogurt will add a lot of moisture to the bread as well as add a lot of protein. You can use dairy free or regular. I do not recommend non-greek yogurt as it is much more watery.

Eggs. You need three large eggs for this recipe, which will add a lot of protein and help this healthy banana bread rise. They also add a really fluffy texture and prevent the bread from getting dense.
Protein powder. Any protein powder you like will work, but I recommend one that is vanilla flavored and ideally stevia sweetened. I used pea protein but you can also use whey protein.
Sugar. I used light brown sugar, but any kind of granulated sugar will do. You can use white sugar to keep it simple, or coconut sugar for a refined sugar free version. If you use coconut sugar this protein banana bread will be much darker than pictured.
The Best Coconut Flour Banana Bread
Flour. You need a mix of blanched almond flour and gluten free all purpose flour. If you are not gluten free, you can use regular all purpose flour, but still use the almond flour.
Butter or oil. I recommend butter (either dairy free or regular) or coconut oil. To avoid any coconut flavor, be sure to use refined coconut oil.
Step 1: Whisk together all wet ingredients until smooth. Be sure to puree your banana first, then measure out 1 1/2 cups worth.

Step 2: Whisk in the dry ingredients, making sure to spoon and level the flours and protein powder, don’t scoop right from the bag.
Step 3: Add in any optional mix ins. I used chocolate chips for this recipe, but you can used chopped walnuts or just leave it plain!
Step 4: Bake until a toothpick comes out clean. If you notice the top browning too much, tent it with some foil.

Unfortunately, since this recipe calls for 3 whole eggs, I do not recommend subbing for flax eggs or any other egg substitute.
The eggs are really important for the overall texture and structure of the bread, so for best results, please follow the recipe as written!
I always find that any recipe made with a lot of banana or apple sauce can get quite mushy if left out at room temperature for too long.

Be sure to let it cool completely, then slice and add to a container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can eat it cold, or warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds so it’s good as new!
You can do this in some recipes, but gluten free baking is so tricky that I recommend sticking with a recipe that already calls for protein powder.
Oftentimes you can sub 1/3 cup for every 1 cup of flour for protein powder, but it’s so much easier following a recipe that already calls for it.
Protein Banana Bread With Peanut Butter Swirls (10g Protein Per Slice)
Protein powder acts similarly to flour in baked goods and helps absorb excess moisture. I don’t find that it gives a grainy texture at all, this banana bread is very soft and fluffy!
This recipe calls for 1 cup of almond flour, but you can likely sub with equal parts oat flour. I have not tested this protein banana bread without almond flour, but oat flour is generally a safe bet!
I promise you will have no issues keeping this bread moist! Be sure you don’t over-bake it as that can easily dry it out. Also make sure you measure the flour properly to prevent a dry loaf.

Low Carb Keto Banana Bread
This High Protein Banana Bread is naturally gluten free and packed with protein! Moist, tender, easy to make and so delicious! The best snack or breakfast!
I know, I know. We just had low carb keto banana bread, sugar free banana bread AND paleo coconut flour banana bread and now here we are with this protein banana bread recipe not even a month later. Spoiler alert: might even make some Vegan Gluten Free Banana Bread for you soon.
Protein is a SERIOUSLY important macro nutrient that many of us are deficient in. Protein helps our joints, build our muscles and helps keep us feeling full and satisfied, among a whole bunch of other things! To make this a banana bread we’re using 2 ingredients:
Banana Protein Bars
Protein powder – this is pretty self-explanatory. Instead of some of the flour, we’re using protein powder to give this easy healthy banana bread recipe a little protein pump up!
Almond flour – instead of making this a whole wheat banana bread, we’re using a nut-based almond flour because almonds are naturally higher in protein. They also had a nutty taste and make this bread naturally gluten free!
Getting enough protein is something I’m passionate about, which is why I wrote the post how to increase protein intake, how to use protein powder 3 ways AND Mr. FFF and I did a protein bar review. But, I figured you might want an even easier way to get protein which is why this protein powder banana bread is HERE FOR YOU.
Easy Chocolate Protein Banana Bread
When I tested this recipe, I used whey-based protein powder as I do not have a dairy allergy and this is my preferred protein. Make sure to use grass-fed dairy whey protein powder if you want to make this banana bread paleo friendly!
I am sure you could also use a plant-based protein powder IF you are accustomed to the earthy taste of it. I personally am not, so it’s not something I would recommend. But, if you are, give it a shot and let me know how it goes!
This is one of the best healthy banana bread recipes I’ve made (what can I say, I like protein) but I’m thinking you could add some mix ins to make it even yummier!

Drizzle with nut butter – mix yourself up some homemade almond butter and slather a THICK layer on top of a fresh slice of banana bread. You’re welcome.
Chocolate chips – want to be a little extra? I’m all about a hefty handful of dairy free chocolate chips swirled into your banana bread. I don’t think you’ll regret it!
