I have been meaning to post my Protein Banana Bread Recipe...which is a spin-off from the one found on Home page | Cut and Jacked (have to give credit where credit is due).
I have made certain modifications as you can compare from the website to this recipe below (standard flour in a much smaller dose rather than coconut flour, cinnamon, etc), but the basic concept is the same: banana bread with a high dose of protein and far lower carbohydrates and sugar content...a nice POST-workout food for those looking to build muscle.
Be careful not to eat more than one or two of these addicting slices per day though, it can easily turn into a high-caloric nightmare if you start chowing down simply because the banana bread title has the word "protein" in it...it is NOT an end-all diet food by ANY means: it is meant for POST-workout nutrition and CHEAT days only. Enjoy!
Bowl 1:
½ cup light brown sugar
1.5 stick(s) butter (12 tablespoons)
3 eggs, 2 egg whites
Bowl 2:
3 bananas
4 tablespoons cinnamon (LOTS!)
½ cup milk
Bowl 3:
½ cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 scoops vanilla or banana whey protein
Mix bowl 2 into 1, then bowl 3 into 1.
Mix in ½ cup oats and chopped walnuts (3 ounces).
Pour in pan and bake @ 325 degrees for 60 minutes on bottom rack.
Nutritional breakdown (per slice, 12 slices per loaf):
1 Slice:
267 calories
24g carbs, 14g fat, 11.5g protein
Again, this is a post-workout food only and a cheat day food only...more than one slice per serving and you are taking this snack into caloric overload.
Another side note for the the carbohydrate concerned is that many of these carbohydrates have a gram of fiber to go along with them, so when we net it out (I have not done so yet), the net carb count is far lower than the surface count.
Enjoy the cheat! :)
