Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients:

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and slice: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use a plant-based protein powder to keep this dairy-free.
  • This bread freezes well—wrap slices individually for a quick grab-and-go snack.
