Banana Protein Choc. Chip Bread/Muffins - Low Carb (3.6 NET carbs per serving) Great for pre-workout

I needed something quick to eat and loaded with protein in the mornings before working out. They have a lot of protein for energy.

Ingredient

Food ration :

12 muffins/20 small slices of bread

Cooking time :

30 mins/375 degrees

1/2 C

Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour (20 net carbs)

2 TBSP

organic steel cut oats (5.75 net carbs)

3 scoops

Isopure banana or chocolate protein powder (I use the Isopure brand because it is low carb (0-3 net carbs, depending on which one you buy)

1 tbsp

baking powder

1/4 tsp

baking soda

2 tsp

ground cinnamon

1/4 cup

unsweetened apple sauce (5.5 net carbs)

1/3 C

heavy whipping cream - 0 carbs…or you can use 1/4 cup non-fat plain, banana or vanilla flavored yogurt (I use “Two Good” yogurt because it is low carb - 1 net carb)

large eggs (2 net carbs)

5 tbsp

melted cooled coconut oil or butter (add 3 TBSP to batter and drizzle remaining 2 TBSP evenly into a non-stick bread pan, silicone pan or muffin cups. Spread on sides and bottom (0 net carbs)

1 TBSP

banana flavored emulsion or extract (0 net carbs)

6 tbsp

Hershey sugar-free dark chocolate chips (6 net carbs) I add some to the batter and then some on top before baking (sugar-free can cause side effects, look online)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix dry ingredients together. Then add liquid ingredients. If you like, add 1 banana (24 net carbs.) I sometimes add half or remove it from the recipe if I want to lower the carb intake. I love bananas and consider them “good” carbs. The banana emulsion does a great job of giving these muffins a nice banana flavor.

* Step 2

Mix together with electric beater or mixer. Bake at 375 for 30 min. Each oven is different. Check with a toothpick after 20 min.. Be sure to refrigerate after a day after you make these. The protein makes them smell a little weird if you don't and they will stay fresh longer.

* Step 3

You can play with the ingredients a bit and lower the net carb intake even more. Trial and error. Because these are loaded with protein, they are a great on-the-go breakfast snack. They make great muffins, too. I have made them both ways. The mini silicone bread pans work the best for me! I place them on top of a cookie sheet then bake. The bread comes right out with no issue.
