Never before has banana bread had so much protein with such a sweet taste. Divided into 10 sizeable slabs, this recipe offers 9 grams of protein in a petite 170 calories per piece. Plus, there’s good news for carb cutters: this homemade bread is a fairly friendly choice with about 30% fewer grams than a store-bought bag. Should I mention the cinnamon and banana, or do you really need any more reason to get baking?
