Protein Banana Bread

Moist, fluffy, and packed with protein, this banana bread is the perfect blend of comfort and nutrition. Ideal for breakfast, snacks, or a post-workout bite.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 10 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup optional chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add eggs, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add protein powder, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until just combined. Fold in optional add-ins.
  4. Pour batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Tap to release air bubbles. Optionally, top with oats or nuts.
  5. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Slice and enjoy plain or with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and sweetness.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze slices for later.
