However, even though banana bread contains fresh fruit, it is not exactly health food.

It can also be made gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free as well.
Southern In Law: Recipe: High Protein Banana Bread
A low-carb banana bread because bananas themselves are high carb. Even if all the other ingredients are low-carb there will still be carbs in this recipe. However, it does contain much fewer carbs than traditional banana bread, and is balanced out well with a healthy dose of vanilla protein powder.
The exact ratio of protein in each slice will be determined by the type of protein powder that you choose. You can use whey protein, or plant-based protein powder like soy protein, or pea protein from any brand. All of these vary and their protein contents so our nutritional facts may vary as well based on what you select.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out a standard 5×9-inch loaf pan. Grease the bottom and sides of the pan well and set aside.

Set out a large stand mixer, or a mixing bowl and hand mixer. Combine the keto sweetener, melted butter, and eggs in the mixer. Beat until well combined. Then peel the bananas and add the overly ripe fruit to the mixture. Beat again until mostly smooth.
Then slowly add in the flour and protein powder, a little at a time. Once the mixture is smooth, scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Then turn on low, once again, and stir in the shredded coconut, and ½ cup of chocolate chips. *Reserve 2-4 tablespoons of chocolate chips to sprinkle over the top of the bread.

Scoop the banana bread batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it into an even layer if needed. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
Bake in the center of the oven for 40 minutes. Then cover the top loosely with a piece of foil and continue to bake for another 15 to 20 minutes. *The foil protects the top from turning too dark.
The banana bread is done when a toothpick inserted deep into the center of the bread comes out clean. Carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the sides.

Then allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for another 10 to 15 minutes before flipping it out onto a cooling rack.
Pro Tip: You can serve banana bread right away, but it cuts better when it is allowed to cool all the way to room temperature.

*Salt – It’s come to our attention that some protein powders contain higher sodium than others. Originally, I added 1 tsp of salt to this recipe, but have lowered it to make sure the bread isn’t overly salty with your protein powder.
