Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the eggs, greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and almond milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.
Sift in the vanilla protein powder, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the 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 of the banana bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and enjoy your high protein banana bread on its own or with a spread of your choice. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
