Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 medium spotty bananas
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp honey (or liquid sweetener)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 scoop protein powder (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1.5 cups oat flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (+ more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mash Bananas: Use a fork or potato masher to thoroughly mash the ripe spotty bananas until smooth with some small chunks remaining for texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, eggs, and honey. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the protein powder, oat flour, cinnamon, sea salt, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Stir gently to combine without overmixing.
  5. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter to add a rich, sweet element.
  6. Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the top for an even bake.
  7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the bread has risen, is set in the middle, and the top turns slightly golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before slicing. Serve and enjoy your protein-packed banana bread!

Notes

  • You can substitute the protein powder with any flavor you prefer, but vanilla or unflavored works best.
  • If you want a sweeter bread, add a little more honey or sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking.
  • This banana bread keeps well stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • To make it vegan, replace the eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based yogurt.
  • Use certified gluten-free oat flour to ensure the bread remains gluten free.
