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