Ingredients

• 8 slices whole wheat bread
• 3 large ripe bananas
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Tear the whole wheat bread slices into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and mix well.

Step 6

Add the vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the banana and egg mixture, stirring until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.

Step 7

Pour the banana mixture over the bread pieces, making sure all the bread is soaked in the liquid.

Step 8

Dot the surface with small dollops of almond butter.

Step 9

Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top for an extra crunch.

Step 10

Drizzle the maple syrup over the entire dish.

Step 11

Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes so the bread can absorb some of the liquid.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Optionally, serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or additional fresh fruit.
