An attractive Marbled Protein Banana Bread made healthy with no oil, butter or sugar! This healthy chocolate swirl protein banana bread uses whole wheat pastry flour, Greek yogurt, protein powder and cocoa powder for all the flavor with no health compromises.
Chocolate:
Vanilla:
Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8½" x 4½" loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together mashed banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, eggs and maple syrup (hand mixer recommended).
In another bowl, whisk whole wheat flour, unflavored protein powder and baking powder.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder and gluten from wheat flour will make the bread dense.
Divide mixture into two bowls.
Bowl 1: Add chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, 2 Tbsp coconut flour and vanilla.
Bowl 2: Add vanilla protein powder and 3 Tbsp coconut flour.
Gently fold until just combined; Again, DO NOT OVER-MIX.
Add large spoonfuls of batter into pan, alternating to make a pattern.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, covering with a foil tent after 40 minutes. A toothpick inserted into center should come out dry.
Cool for 15 minutes, then lift out of pan using the lining. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes and cut into slices.
