Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium ripe bananas (mashed, about 1¼ cups)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey (optional for added sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oat flour (or almond flour for low-carb option)
  • ½ cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Optional add-ins: ¼ cup chopped walnuts, dark chocolate chips, or seeds

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well with oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. If using, gently fold in any optional add-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or seeds.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas – the darker, the better for sweetness and moisture. Don’t overmix – stir just until combined to keep the texture tender. Choose the right protein powder – whey or plant-based both work, but avoid gritty or chalky varieties.
