I am SO feeling this holiday season. I’ve been dying to bake up a storm, but unfortunately school work and applying to dietetic internships has left me with little time to spare. Fortunately, I made some time to create this gingerbread banana bread recipe!

Thankfully, most of our recipes are super quick and easy, so it didn’t take up too much of my time to this recipe I have here for you.

Surprise it’s another pancake mix quick bread. But are you actually surprised? Probably not. Pancake mix quick bread are our thing, so until I get sick of making quick bread recipes, I’m going to continue to create new recipes.

It may seem strange to pair bananas with gingerbread, but I promise you it’s delicious. Try it for yourself.

Here is what you need to make this holiday banana bread recipe:

The BEST Triple Chocolate Protein Banana Bread (Paleo, Gluten-Free + Vegan Options!)

July 16, 2017 by Rachel 21 Comments

Triple Chocolate Protein Banana Bread is thick, rich and chocolatey you would never guess it’s made with wholesome ingredients! Paleo, vegan and gluten-free!

*Pictures updated 5/27/2018*

Would I be an Athletic Avocado without posting some sort of banana bread recipe every month? Heck nah. There are usually a few different recipes in between, butttt I always tend to revert back to making banana bread. It’s my comfort ~~zone~~ recipe 😛

But today I’m taking banana bread to a whole other awesome level! Not only is this banana bread super tasty (like when is banana bread not), but it’s also full of muscle building protein! Woohooooooo. Thanks to my fave paleo protein powder! The thing I love about Rootz protein superfood is that it doesn’t taste like protein powder, it tastes like powdered chocolate banana bread. If you didn’t think that was ever possible, try it and get back to me. This stuff is amazinggggg.

And if you thought double the chocolate was double the fun, how about triple the chocolate? Even more fun. That’s right, this banana bread has three kinds of chocolate here, making it extra rich and fudgey. If you hate chocolate, this recipe is NOT for you. If you hate chocolate, you should probably get help.

Chocolate Chip Paleo Banana Bread N’Oatmeal Bake {Vegan option}

January 29, 2017 by Bethany 23 Comments

Craving banana bread for breakfast? Try this Chocolate Chip Paleo Banana Bread N’Oatmeal Bake! It’s full of fiber and protein to keep you full and satisfied all morning! Also Vegan-friendly!

Me this morning: ” Oh hey big bunch of way overdue bananas! You seem like you need to be used up.” Maybe I should freeze them to use in a smoothie? Nahhhhhhh banana bread sounds like a better plan. Does that ever happen to you? You overestimate the amount of bananas you’ll actually eat and then they end up slowly rotting their lives away. Such a sad life for some bananas.

It doesn’t have to be though, if you are familiar with the magic of over ripe bananas. The more ripe the banana, the sweeter it is, and the better it is for baking. It’s like a win-lose situation, but the winning part is like a gold medal.

To all my banana bread lovers out there, this recipe is for you. No, you can’t slice it and eat it with your hands buttttt it’s still ah-maz-ing. It’s basically Spoonable (and swoonable) Banana Bread with mini chocolate chips. Mmmmm I love chocolate chip banana bread for breakfast. But here’s the problem: a slice of banana bread fills me up for maybe 5 minutes. Anyone else feel that way? Hanger is real #firstworldproblems

But fear not, because this Spoonable Banana Bread is full of protein and fiber, thanks to coconut flour. Yup that’s right, no oats in this bake (hence the word n’oatmeal). It’s not that I broke up with oatmeal, I just wanted to try something new. Now that I found the beauty of subbing coconut flour in place of oats for breakfast, it maybe my new favorite breakfast for a few weeks/months/years.

Only a few simple ingredients are needed to make this swoon-worthy recipe:

over-ripe bananas

coconut flour

almond milk

egg OR flax egg

vanilla

cinnamon

baking soda

baking powder

mini chocolate chips

walnuts

Chocolate Chip Paleo Banana Bread N’Oatmeal Bake

Prepare to fall in love with this simple yet crowd-pleasing breakfast recipe. Coconut flour subs in for oatmeal in this bake to make it paleo and grain-free. Studded with mini chocolate chips and walnuts, this breakfast will satisfy your cravings and hunger!

Ingredients

4 over-ripe bananas
1 cup non-dairy milk

1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or nuts of choice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mash together bananas and egg with a fork. Mix in milk and vanilla until well combined.
Add in coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon, mixing until well incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Spray cooking spray in a small casserole dish or an 8x8 pan. Pour in batter, spreading out top evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until top is golden.
Let cool, slice and serve with almond butter and maple syrup.
Enjoy!

Pancake Mix EASY Blueberry Banana Bread {Gluten-Free + Vegan!}

August 31, 2016 by Bethany And Rachel 42 Comments

Healthy Pancake Blueberry Banana Bread made easy with a complete pancake mix! No butter, oil or refined sugar. Also gluten-free and vegan options!

I think we can all agree that banana bread is probably one of the best kinds of foods invented.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like banana bread, actually. Even those people who HATE bananas love banana bread because it’s basically heaven in bread form. I mean how could you not love that crackly nut crusted top with a fluffy sweet banana-y flavored pillow inside?

I’m pretty sure that you and I would agree that we would be able to eat banana bread everyday if we could, no? I totally would too but that’s probably not the greatest idea in the world for my health!

So my goal was to create a banana bread recipe that was super easy-to-make, healthy enough to eat every day, and of course just as delicious as a regular sugar-filled banana bread. Challenge accepted and defeated!

This banana bread came out even better than I imagined and I couldn’t be happier (and couldn’t stop eating it lol). You would never guess the secret ingredient that’s in this banana bread if I didn’t tell you….. PANCAKE MIX!

Yes it’s made so simple and easy with pancake mix. I used Kodiak Cakes complete protein pancake mix which has to be my favorite of all time but there are many other healthy gluten-free complete pancake mixes, just choose your favorite mix.

Now banana bread typically contains a lot of added sugar but this version only has 1/4 cup of coconut sugar in the bread and 2 tbsp for the topping which is cutting back a lot.

But do not be fooled by the less sugar, the bananas are the main source of sweetness accompanied by the juicy blueberries. There is no need for more sugar!

Pancake Mix Blueberry Banana Bread

This Blueberry Banana Bread is super easy-to-make with a complete pancake mix. It’s healthy enough to eat every day and contains no refined sugar, butter or oil. It’s a kid-friendly (and adult pleasing!) nutritious snack, breakfast or dessert that is soft and pillowy on the inside with a crackly nutty crust. Also has a vegan and gluten-free option!

TOPPING
1/3 cup crushed walnuts
2 tbsp coconut sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 and spray a loaf pan with oil. Mix pancake mix and coconut sugar in a large bowl and set aside. Mix eggs, bananas, and milk in a small bowl, add to dry ingredients and combine well. Mix in blueberries and add batter to loaf pan. Mix topping ingredients together and sprinkle on batter.

Athletic Avocado would not exist if it weren’t for awesome readers like YOU! We also recently just celebrated our 21st birthday, so of course we had to make something real good for ya.

This banana bread fruit pizza screams “Athletic Avocado.” If you have been following us for awhile, you know sweet pizzas are kinda our thing. From zucchini to pumpkin bread to apple pie to peach pie to strawberry lemon, we’ve done it all. Or so we thought.

We were figuring out what to make for the blogiversary, and it hit us that we have never made a banana bread version of our favorite kind of recipe. Like how did we miss that? Banana bread is the BEST kind of bread ever? #amirightoramright?

So of course we had to make this banana bread version and top it will ALL the toppings for this special celebration! This is actually our favorite breakfast/dessert pizza of all-time, well so far anyways…

Unlike the other sweet pizzas we’ve made, this one serves 2, not 1 but it’s a GIANT serving for two people, so more pizza=more fun. You can honestly eat it for any meal because it’s that good and good for ya.

We split it for our birthday breakfast but wished that we made another one for that day because we loved it so much and wanted it for dessert.

This Pizza’s got three fantastic layers that will make you swoon:

Banana Bread crust made with coconut flour

Strawberry cream cheese frosting

Toppings consisting of sliced fruit, nuts and CHOCOLATE

April 27, 2016 by Bethany And Rachel 59 Comments

These Cherry Garcia Paleo Banana Bread Bars are a delicious and healthy combine the tasty chocolate and cherry ice cream flavor with classic banana bread! They are the perfect breakfast or snack and are gluten-free with a vegan option!

So let’s talk about something we all love, snacks.

To be honest, we are both not much of snackers because we prefer larger meals instead of smaller meals and small snacks. BUT, there are plenty times when I need a snack ,especially when I know that I won’t be able to eat a meal for awhile.

You know those times when you need to eat something right that second or your gonna ~~punch someone in the face~~ be really hangry? yeah, that’s why I need to make sure I snack.

When I need a snack, I need something that’s nutrient-dense, energizing and delish. That’s where Made In Nature comes in.

Made In Nature is an organic healthy food and snack company that dedicated to making healthy eating anything but boring! Now these kind of snacks are the type of snacks that are nutrient-dense AND taste delish.

Some of my favorite snacks from Made In Nature include Dried Tart Cherries, Espresso Coconut Chips (THESE <3) and Sriracha Chili Kale Chips. If these snacks don’t change your snacking game, I don’t know what will.

Enough snack talk, let’s cut to the chase and talk about these Cherry Garcia Banana Bread Bars.

I used Made In Nature Tart Cherries to transform the classic banana bread into well-known ice cream flavor and it’s one perfect. It’s even more epic knowing that these banana bread bars are made with whole food ingredients and are gluten-free, paleo, with a vegan option.

These bars are not only perfect for a quick breakfast, but they can also double as a snack and dessert.

EASY Banana Bread Nut and Seed Butter

March 29, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 17 Comments

I’ve am now obsessed with making my own nut butter! It’s super easy and you can save lots of money! I have always wanted to try Nuttzo, a type of nut and seed butter, but its so expensive that I will not dare even to go near the stuff! Seriously, $15.00 for a jar that I can polish off in a week, no thank you.

Homemade Nut and Seed Butter

Thank fully I made my own homemade nuttzo, and I believe that its even better then the store bought! I added my own banana bread flavoring (all natural and refined sugar-free of course), and voila, the most amazing, cheapest nut (and seed) butter you will ever taste!

In a small sauce pan, add banana, coconut sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Place on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until mixture resembles a sauce.
Add banana mixture to nut and seed butter and blend in food processor for another 2-3 minutes, or until blended evenly.

Homemade Banana Bread Dairy-free Coffee Creamer

February 13, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 14 Comments

This Banana Bread Dairy-Free Coffee Creamer tastes delicious in coffee without all of the added sugar and preservatives!

I’ll admit it, I used to be one of those flavored coffee cream junkies. What ever flavor it was, I had to have it! I adored all the dessert flavors, including caramel macchiato, irish cream, butter pecan and every flavor in between.

Once I read an article on how bad these really were, I stopped buying them completely. I was not into the added sugars, artificial flavoring and the processed ingredients that I can’t even pronounce. I was destined to come up with my own flavored creamer made with all-natural ingredients. Coconut milk stood in for the creamy texture of creamy and the date and ripe banana lends to a sweet flavor. This is super easy to make, dairy-free, vegan, paleo and just plain delicious in a cup of coffee!
