Kodiak cakes protein banana bread recipe

Making banana bread year-round is pretty simple. It only requires a few ingredients along with a couple of overripe bananas. However, it is a tasty treat filled with a bit of sugar.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t tweak the recipe and make it a little healthier by using a few substitutes, like Kodiak cakes mix.

I decided to make this banana bread in a mini loaf pan. This means you’ll be able to enjoy a single serving of banana bread without having to cut slices.

These cute mini bread loaves are a great way to use up that last bit of Kodiak mix in the box. Kids like them, and the mini loaf size is already portion-controlled.

The cinnamon oat power cakes make a perfect substitute for all-purpose flour. Not only is the cake mix made out of whole-wheat flour, which helps you get fiber into your diet, it contains 14 grams of protein per serving.

As far as the sweetness goes, which is something that gives banana bread life, this still has it.

Instead of using a full cup of brown sugar, you can use stevia or Truvia brown sugar alternative. It is a low-calorie and low carb alternative.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mash the banana in a medium bowl.

Step 2: Add egg whites to the mashed bananas and mix. Slowly add the dry ingredients, starting with the cake mix.

Step 3: Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar.

Step 4: Pour the banana bread batter into your greased pan. Top with nuts of choice. 

Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check the center of the loaf for doneness.
