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

  1. Add oats to a food processor or blender and blend until the texture resembles fine flour. Transfer the oat flour to a mixing bowl.
  2. Stir in the protein powder, white whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon with the oat flour.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas. Mix in the egg, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and maple syrup.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. You can line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. 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.
