Recipe: Banana Walnut Protein Bread

I got this recipe from Little B. I altered it ever so slightly. Remember that it contains no preservatives so must be refrigerated and it is dense!

Ingredients:

2 bananas
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
6 oz nonfat Greek yogurt
3 egg whites
1/4 c unsweetened applesauce
~1/4 c sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 c chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. Blend bananas until they are a pudding consistency.
2. Preheat oven to 375.
3. Add in yogurt, applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract and mix.
4. Add in remaining ingredients (except walnuts) and mix until smooth.
5. Fold in walnuts by hand.
6. Pour evenly into a prepared bread loaf pan.
7. Bake 35-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
