Ingredients

Scale

3 ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture

1 cup gluten-free flour blend for base

1/2 cup protein powder for protein content

1/4 cup coconut oil for moisture and richness

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon for warm, spicy flavor

1/2 cup almond milk for binding

1 teaspoon baking powder for rising

1/4 teaspoon salt for balancing sweetness

2 flax eggs for vegan binding

Instructions

1-Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the process smooth. Measure out 3 mashed ripe bananas, 1 cup of gluten-free flour blend, and 1/2 cup of protein powder. This step ensures everything is at hand, setting you up for success with this High Protein Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls recipe. Mixing your flax eggs now 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water will help them gel while you work.

2-Mix the Dough: In a Large bowl, combine the mashed bananas with 1/4 cup melted coconut oil and 1/2 cup almond milk. Stir in 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the flax eggs until smooth. Gradually add the gluten-free flour and protein powder, mixing to form a sticky dough; bake at 350ยฐF for the best results. This step is crucial for creating a protein-packed base in your High Protein Gluten Free Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls, taking about 5 minutes.

3-Roll and Add Cinnamon Swirl: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon evenly over the dough, then gently roll it up into a log shape. Slice the log into 8 equal rolls, each about 1-inch thick, for even cooking. This adds the signature cinnamon swirl that makes Dairy Free Protein Packed Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread so irresistible, and it adapted for low-calorie needs by using less cinnamon if desired.

4-Bake the Rolls: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and bake at 350ยฐF for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Check them at the 20-minute mark to avoid overbaking, as this keeps the texture soft and moist. These High Protein Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls are versatile, so if you’re making a gluten-free version, ensure your oven is preheated properly. Cooling for 10 minutes after baking helps them set.

5-Final Touches and Serving: Once baked, let the rolls cool slightly before serving warm. For an extra boost, top with fresh fruit or a drizzle of nut butter if you’re aiming for more protein. This High Protein Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls recipe serves 8, with each roll providing a good protein hit, and it’s easy to customize for dietary preferences like vegan options. Enjoy them as a breakfast or snack to keep you going all day.

Notes

๐ŸŒ For the best flavor and texture, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots – they’re sweeter and mash more easily, creating a moist, flavorful bread.
๐Ÿฅ„ Don’t overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients – overmixing gluten-free flours can result in a dense, tough texture instead of light and fluffy.
โฐ This banana bread freezes beautifully – slice it, wrap individual portions, and freeze for up to 3 months for quick, healthy breakfasts or snacks on busy days.
