- 3 whole Large Eggs
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1.5 cups Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder

- 0.5 cup Light Brown Sugar

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the banana mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
Slowly fold in the dry ingredients, careful not to overmix, just until everything is incorporated.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve either warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your healthy and delicious high protein banana walnut bread!
