Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and honey. Whisk everything together until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the protein powder, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not over mix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into equal pieces and serve. Enjoy your high protein banana bread slice!
