The other day I was in the mood for banana bread. So I decided to whip up a single serving large piece for myself for breakfast the next day using some random ingredients I had in my kitchen. The result is this mini loaf of banana bread, large enough to eat as a meal. It's both gluten free and sugar free, the almond flour provides healthy fats and vitamin E, and the coconut flour and psyllium husk add plenty of fiber. This banana bread has an astounding 54 g of protein and 30 g of fiber. That'll keep you full till lunch for sure.

WET
- 2 medium (220 g) Banana, overripe
- 1 1/4 cup (300 g) Egg whites
- 1 tsp (5 g) Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp (5 g) Almond extract
- 1 tsp (5 g) Liquid monk fruit

DRY - SMALLER
- 2 tsp (5 g) Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1.5 g) Salt
- 1/4 tsp (0.75 g) Ginger, ground
- 1/4 tsp (0.75 g) Nutmeg, ground

OPTIONAL
- 1 scoop (5 g) Creatine Monohydrate
- 1 scoop (1.8 g) Magnesium Glycinate

DRY - LARGER
- 2 tbsp (15 g) Coconut flour
- 2 tbsp (14 g) Almond flour
- 2 tbsp (13 g) Ground flaxseed
- 1/3 scoop (10 g) Casein protein powder, unflavored
- 2 tbsp (10 g) Psyllium husks, whole
- 2 tbsp (10 g) Cocoa powder

1. Preheat your oven to 350F, and line a small baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper. Here, I'm using my glass meal prep container, which is 6.2x4.5"

2. In a large bowl, mash your banana with the back of a fork until smooth. Whisk in the rest of the wet ingredients - egg whites, vanilla extract, almond extract, and liquid monk fruit

3. Whisk in the smaller dry ingredients - cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and ginger

4. Optionally, whisk in some creatine or magnesium

5. Finally, whisk in the larger dry ingredients - coconut flour, almond flour, ground flax, psyllium husk, casein, and cocoa powder

6. Transfer the raw batter to your prepared pan

7. Bake at 350F for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out very nearly clean, and the internal temperature is at least 205F
