Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan version)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten-free)
  • ½ cup (50g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (90g) dark chocolate chips, walnuts, or almonds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven

    • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. Mix wet ingredients

    • In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
    • Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  3. Add dry ingredients

    • In a separate bowl, combine flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
    • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined (don’t overmix).

  4. Add mix-ins (optional)

    • Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or seeds if using.

  5. Bake

    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
    • 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 it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use plant-based protein powder for a vegan version.
  • Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
