This Vegan Banana Protein Bread is the best high protein bread recipe. It's low carb, Paleo, only sweetened with bananas, non dairy, grain free, moist and easy to make. With qualities like this, what's not to like?!

I've been making this Vegan protein bread on and off the past few months and absolutely loving it!

Although I shared the recipe on my Instagram, I was hesitant to turn it into a blog post; mostly because it's not the prettiest loaf.

But, I decided to just go for it! I love this plant based protein bread too much not to share. In fact, my kids even like it...so I know I'm not the only one.

Besides, what this simple bread recipe lacks for in looks, it makes up for in flavor.

Ingredients in Vegan Protein Banana Bread

Here's what you need to make this high protein Paleo bread recipe:

ripe bananas
almond flour
cassava flour
pea protein
baking powder
baking soda
salt
vanilla extract
water

Ripe Bananas

I used bananas that were yellow with a few brown spots. Any ripeness should work for this recipe. However, under-ripe will give you a loaf that isn't very sweet and over-ripe bananas (black) may not taste as good.

Grain Free Flours

This Paleo Vegan loaf contains a mixture of almond flour and cassava flour. Why? Because these two flours work well together for Vegan baking...at least that's my experience. (I love using them in combination to make scones and muffins.) I have not tested any other flour combinations for this protein bread recipe.

Protein Powder

I recommend pea protein for making this banana bread. Pea protein is perfect for Paleo and Vegan baking. My favorite brand is Nuzest, which is grain free, Vegan, non-GMO, made with minimal processing and actually tastes good! I have tested both the Nuzest Vanilla and Just Natural protein powders in this recipe - both are excellent!

How to Make Vegan Protein Banana Bread

This is literally the easiest banana bread recipe! Here's what you need to do:

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Peel your bananas. Then mash them in a large mixing bowl.

Next, pour the remaining ingredients into your bowl. Mix with a spatula until well combined. The batter is THICK.

Scoop the batter into a lined 8" x 4" baking pan. Use the spatula to spread the batter to the sides of the pan and smooth out the top. Optional: sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Bake the loaf for 60 minutes at 350 degrees.

After baking, remove the loaf from the oven and cool in the baking pan to room temperature. Note: the loaf should rise when baking, but will flatten when cooling.

How to Store Vegan Banana Protein Bread

This low carb Vegan bread needs to be stored in the fridge since it is so moist and doesn't contain any preservatives. It will last well for a week in the fridge.
