Ingredients

Scale

Main 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

Dry Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prep: 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. Mash and mix wet ingredients: 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. Add dry ingredients: 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. Fold in extras: If using, gently fold in any optional add-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or seeds.
  5. Pour and bake: 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. Cool and slice: 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.
