High protein recipes that call for protein powder often end up somewhat dry and nasty, but the rhubarb and banana keep this loaf deliciously moist and sticky. A couple of slices make for a highly portable snack- especially tasty, when spread with peanut butter, Nutella or cream cheese!
Ingredients
120g ground oats
3 scoops whey protein powder (I like
BSN Lean Dessert in Banana Cream Pudding flavour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger
2 whole eggs
1 large ripe banana
250g canned rhubarb drained (can use fresh, stewed)
Sweeten batter to taste (try Xylitol or Stevia)
Directions
Mash banana and beat in egg. Thoroughly mix in other ingredients. Bake in TWO standard loaf tins for 40-50 minutes at 175 C.
Slice each loaf into eight pieces.

The banana bread was awesome and easy. I did add some raw sugar instead of stevia-not much about 2 TBS. I’m not too afraid of calories while I’m training heavy.
Charli
If you have the spare calories, then I’m all for real sugar! So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Rob 🙂
Christy
Can you leave out the protein, to just enjoy as a banana loaf?
Charli
You can indeed! But if you leave out the protein, you’ll need to make it up with more ground oats or some ww flour to maintain the texture.
Amy
Very interesting. I am not a fan of rhubarb, however. What could be used as a substitute instead, and how much??
Charli
You can double up on banana instead 🙂
