Looking for a warm comforting treat that gives you the feeling of being wrapped in a cozy blanket? Let us introduce you to our Protein-Packed Banana Bread in a Mug, which comes together in minutes and is nutrient-dense while still tasting oh-so-sweet. While traditional banana bread recipes rely on flour, butter and sugar, this macro-friendly version uses Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix as a base. This contains 100% whole grain wheat flour and includes whey protein concentrate.
The extra scoop of protein powder allows you to bring in your favorite protein supplement (we recommend vanilla flavor, but a chocolate banana bread in a mug also sounds yummy, now that we think about it!) After microwaving, top with sliced bananas, walnuts (if desired) and maple syrup.
Protein-Packed Banana Bread in a Mug
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 medium banana

- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbsp walnuts, crushed
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Directions
- Spray a microwave-safe mug or ramekin with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mash the banana before adding the remaining ingredients. Stir well until you have a smooth batter.
