Protein Banana Bread

This protein-packed banana bread has become one of my favorite make-ahead breakfasts—simple ingredients, warm banana flavor, and a sneaky boost of protein that actually keeps you full. It’s the kind of recipe that feels like a treat but fits perfectly into a healthy, active routine. I love slicing it up for busy mornings, grabbing a piece after a workout, or warming it with a little peanut butter when I want something comforting. Easy to throw together, budget-friendly, and freezer-friendly… it’s everything a good meal prep breakfast should be.
