Protein-Packed Banana Bread
This is banana bread that pulls more weight at breakfast. Blended cottage cheese and three eggs go into the batter, so every slice carries about 6 grams of protein, roughly double a typical banana bread, with no protein powder anywhere in sight. Our 1:1 All-Purpose Flour keeps the crumb tender, warm cinnamon and nutmeg keep it tasting like the banana bread you actually want, and as written the loaf is nut-free too. So good, no one will guess it is gluten-free, the way Pamela's has done it since 1988.
Why you'll love it
- About 6 grams of protein per slice, from cottage cheese and eggs, not powder.
- Tastes like banana bread, warmly spiced, not like a protein bar pretending.
- Nut-free as written, made with our rice-based 1:1 All-Purpose Flour and no nuts.
- Less sweet than most, so the banana and spice lead.
- One loaf, simple method, with a blender doing the only trick.
How much protein is in this banana bread?
About 6 grams per slice, from a loaf that cuts into 8 to 10 slices. The protein comes from three eggs and three-quarters of a cup of cottage cheese blended smooth into the batter. For comparison, a typical banana bread slice carries around 2 to 3 grams, so this loaf roughly doubles it while still tasting like a treat rather than a supplement.
Protein without the protein powder
Most banana bread recipes chasing protein lean on a scoop of powder, and plenty of bakers would rather skip it: the chalky texture, the artificial sweetness, the tub in the pantry. This loaf gets there with cottage cheese and eggs instead. The cottage cheese blends completely smooth, no curds, no tang, and what it leaves behind is moisture, richness, and protein. If you have been searching for a protein banana bread without protein powder, this is that recipe. Shop 1:1 All-Purpose Flour
