WILD BLUEBERRY PROTEIN BANANA BREAD
Did someone say banana bread? Just because you are following a strict diet, it doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice on flavor! Banana Bread is hands down, one of our favorite breakfast treats – and it’s totally doable. Even gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy-free and egg-free! (Geez. That’s exhausting just typing that!) Did we mention that this Wild Blueberry Protein Banana Bread has no refined sugars?
WHAT MAKES THIS BLUEBERRY BANANA BREAD HEALTHY?
Aside from the fact that this Wild Blueberry Protein Banana Bread is totally safe for those with like allergies, it’s downright nourishing! Packed with two times more antioxidant power than your regular store-bought cultivated blueberry, the wild blueberry packs more bang for your buck! Wild blueberries are grown without harsh pesticides and are grown in a wild habitat such as on the sides of cliffs. Their growth is only interrupted to harvest and are less shelf-stable than your conventional blueberry. Hence, you will typically find the wild blueberry in your grocer’s freezer aisle.
WHICH PROTEIN POWDER SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
We typically recommend a plant-based protein powder with this recipe, but if you are on the fence, grab your favorite one. If you need a little direction, check out our whey protein powder and plant-based protein powder reviews.

Description
This Wild Blueberry Protein Banana Bread recipe has everything you need to feel satisfied without popular allergens like dairy, wheat, gluten, and even eggs!
Ingredients
- 3 medium, ripe bananas
- 3 TBSP maple syrup
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, regular or vanilla
- 2 cup gluten-free oat flour
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup frozen, wild blueberries
- coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Using a small amount of coconut oil and a paper towel, lightly grease a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan to discourage the bread from sticking.
- Peel and place the bananas in a bowl and using a fork, mash until you have a thick consistency. Add maple syrup, protein powder, vanilla extract and almond milk. Stir to combine. Ensure the protein powder is well dissolved.
- In a larger bowl, combine remaining dry ingredients until well mixed.
- Add wet banana mixture to dry ingredients, stirring to combine. Once well mixed, fold in blueberries.
- Transfer mixture to the loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes. Check to ensure bread is fully baked using a toothpick or knife in the center. A more gelatinous texture is normal; however, you do not want a runny texture.
- Allow Banana Bread to cool before serving. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Oven temperatures vary. Keep an eye on your Banana Bread throughout the baking process. You may need to adjust the baking time by allowing your bread to cook longer or take the bread out early.
- Inspired by the Medical Medium’s Wild Blueberry Banana Bread recipe.

Could you use almond flour?

Hello, this recipe sounds great!! I am wondering if I would be able to substitute Almond or Coconut Flour at all? And would it be the same amount? I am new to using these 2 flours so am trying to incorporate where I can without messing with the recipe too much:) Thank you for all of your amazing and educational posts! Keep up the good work!! You are truly an inspiration:)

Hi Gina!
You could totally substitute either Almond or Coconut flour; however, I wouldn’t recommend that. Those two flours are much more moist than oat flour and with a bread-like loaf, neither would give you the rise or texture you are hoping for.
Sorry we couldn’t be more help!
