If you’re looking for a warm, comforting fall treat without the sugar crash, this Protein-Packed Pumpkin Spice Banana Bread is about to become your new favorite.

Perfectly spiced and naturally sweetened with Be Well Pumpkin Spice Protein Powder, ripe bananas, and pumpkin puree, each loaf delivers 74 grams of protein along with healthy fats, fiber, and greens.

It’s the perfect way to enjoy the comforting flavors of the season, Fab Four style.

The Fab Four Formula in This Banana Bread

  • Protein: Be Well Pumpkin Spice Grass-Fed Protein Powder provides clean, complete protein to support satiety, lean muscle, and balanced blood sugar.
  • Fat: Eggs and olive oil deliver healthy fats for long-lasting energy and creamy texture.
  • Fiber: Ripe bananas and psyllium husk powder provide fiber to support digestion and stabilize blood sugar.
  • Greens: Pumpkin puree adds nutrients, moisture, and a subtle vegetable boost, integrating extra vitamins and antioxidants into your treat.

Be Well Protein Powders: My Secret to Sugar-Free, High-Protein Baking

My go-to for keeping fall treats low-sugar and high-protein? Be Well Protein Powders. Made with just 1–5 clean ingredients and free from added sugar, dairy, and gluten, they make it easy to boost protein in baked goods, smoothies, or coffee without compromising taste or texture.

  • Grass-Fed Protein Powder: Perfect for adding protein to smoothies, baked goods, or even coffee. My seasonal Pumpkin Spice and Chai Grass-Fed Protein Powders capture all the warmth and nostalgia of fall, delivering over 20 grams of complete protein per serving and adding rich, cozy flavor to your recipes.
  • Plant-Based Protein Powder: A versatile option that works beautifully in baked goods like this banana bread. It provides clean, complete protein while maintaining flavor and texture, and you can even use it as a flour replacement for extra plant-based protein and fiber.

How to Enjoy:

Start your morning with a slice alongside your morning coffee or Fab Four Smoothie for a cozy, balanced breakfast. Spread a little almond butter, ghee, or grass-fed butter on top for extra richness, grab a slice as a post-workout snack to refuel, or enjoy it as a guilt-free dessert any time of day. This Pumpkin Spice Banana Bread is versatile, satisfying, and the perfect healthy fall treat that keeps your blood sugar steady while letting you savor the flavors of the season.

*Be Well Baking Tips: For a less sweet option, use one scoop of Pumpkin Spice Protein or Vanilla Grass-Fed Protein with one scoop of Unflavored Grass-Fed or Plant-Based Protein. If you don’t have Pumpkin Spice Protein, Be Well Vanilla Grass-Fed works perfectly, just add a bit more pumpkin spice powder to taste.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, bananas, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and olive oil until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the protein powder, pumpkin spice powder, salt, baking soda, and psyllium husk.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated. The batter will be slightly thick.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
