Description
This Protein Banana Bread is soft, moist, and naturally sweetened with bananas and maple syrup. Packed with Greek yogurt and protein powder, it’s a nourishing choice for breakfast, post-workout fuel, or a cozy snack.
Ingredients
3 ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup oat flour
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add in the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
3. Stir in the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix just until the batter comes together. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
4. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness.
Don’t overmix the batter—just stir until combined.
