I'm about to tell you one of my secrets on doing every recipe low carb and slightly higher in nutrients; protein powder instead of flour! In this recipe I'm going to teach you how to make these amazing banana muffins with a hint of piña coladas!
The combination of flavors, plus the consistency of these is just a whole new level and perfect for any occasion or time of the year! These are also great for meal prep since you can keep them in the freezer or to simply share with your nut health friends.
About these Banana Colada Bread Blondies:
As I mentioned in the intro, I said I was going to tell you how to use protein powder instead of flour; this is a great hack to keep things gluten free and low carb as well! If you are similar with coconut flour, then this is pretty similar!
The trick is on using the right protein powder, in this occasion I use on repeat Nuzest Protein, also plant-based, low carb and with minimal ingredients. It has a great taste; not chalky, funky or anything like that. This is why it's important to use the correct protein powder.
The key is also in the liquid content! You might need more if you are using protein powder since in this occasion, it's made from pea protein and it might absorb more water in the baking process, we want to avoid any dryness.
One of the best parts of using protein powder is that also adds flavor and thickness to the recipe; it's really a game changer, honestly! In this occasion I used the vanilla one, but the strawberry will have a extra fun effect on the recipe too!
Overall, these are the ingredients needed for these Banana Colada Bread Blondies:
Coconut Flour
Dairy Free Yogurt
Banana
Almonds Milk
Real Salt
Cinnamon
Coconut Butter
Shredded Coconut
Pineapple
Keto Candied Pecans (I used Marigold)

The end result
Thick, coconutty and soft! These are just a tropical dream in a blondie! The flavor of banana along with the coconut here is just dreamy and irresistible. The outside is slightly crispy and the inside is thick, rich and soft at bite.
Melts in your mouth!
You might want to save this recipe because a second batch might be needed here! I shared some of the blondies with my friends but they were just too good as my afternoon snack after crossfit or dessert that I had to bake some more.
Pro tip: Air fry them for a few minutes for a crispier blondie! You can also freeze them and have them ready to devour at any moment of the day.
