Belinda’s Peanut Butter Banana Bake

Belinda’s Peanut Butter Banana Bake

Today I tweaked the recipe that I posted yesterday from Nourish & Thrive Amy from TikTok, which I did to lower the calories.

I switched out the one ounce of peanut butter to two tablespoons of powdered peanut butter, which lowered the calorie content by 134 calories from 512 to 344 for the entire mini loaf.

I also made the switch to two tablespoons of the wheat germ to make it easier to measure.

I also added two tablespoons of vanilla protein powder for an extra 34 calories, which added an additional five grams of protein, making the entire loaf twenty-five grams of protein.

This recipe produces a very moist loaf of bread. 

This recipe isn’t very sweet since there is no sugar, but if you make sure your bananas are really ripe that will help with the sweetness.

Here is the tweaked recipe, if you're interested:
