Description
A simple, moist banana bread recipe boosted with protein powder, suitable for fitness enthusiasts or anyone seeking a healthier baked treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 3 large bananas, mashed (1 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, honey or agave
Instructions
- Add oats to a food processor or blender and blend until the texture resembles fine flour. Transfer the oat flour to a mixing bowl.
- Stir in the protein powder, white whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon with the oat flour.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas. Mix in the egg, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and maple syrup.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. You can line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cover the loaf with foil part way through cooking if the top browns too quickly.
Notes
- Store the bread at room temperature for 3-5 days, or keep it refrigerated.
- To freeze, cool the bread completely, then store it in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw to room temperature before serving.
- For high-protein banana bread muffins, spoon the batter into a greased or lined standard muffin tin and bake for 18-25 minutes. This makes 12 muffins.
