Ok before I get in to this fab find I just wanted to let ya'll know, all my pictures on the blog were deleted somehow :( I am working on getting them back on, but who knows how long that will take . Ugh so effing frustrating... so just bear with me. Thanks
Okay this fab Friday is due to the fact that I had a bunch of bananas in my fruit bowl that were turning a beautiful brown color.
I already had so many bananas in my freezer I have no more space and honestly I haven't been eating my banana "ice cream" so I decided to look on Pinterest for some protein banana bread recipes and I found this great recipe by The Protein Chef on YouTube. He has a ton of different recipes on there I can't wait to try more, and if they all taste as good as this one score...
This is easy to whip up real quick just don't do what I did because it was almost a pinterest fail. I didn't have any oat flour so I did what he suggested. You take regular oats dump them in the blender and pulse and minute or two... The recipe calls for 90 grams of oat flour (about 11/4cups) but 1 1/4 cups of oats doesn't necessarily come out to 1 1/4 cups oat flour .... so needless to say mine came out more the consistency of a bread pudding but it was still delish
Also I did change it up a bit. I didn't have any applesauce so I used Greek yogurt instead, it worked great and added even more protein, and I also had an extra nana so I just tossed it in. I also didn't put in any nuts. The serving size is 1/8 of the loaf (which is a pretty big serving) and it keeps me full for quite a while. It's great for a snack especially with some grapes.

Mix your dry ingredients in one bowl and your wet ingredients in another bowl. Use a mixer/blender/whisk to mix together the wet ingredients. Slowly add in the dry ingredients. Spray a 9'' bread dish with non-stick cooking spray and then throw it in the oven on 350 for around 35:00-40:00. Let cool. Cut into 8 pieces and devour!
