CLASSIC PROTEIN BANANA BREAD

This delicious and moist banana bread is packed with 25 grams of protein per slice, making it the perfect treat to fuel your day or support your post-workout recovery. Its tender crumb and subtly sweet banana flavor are complemented by a hearty, satisfying texture that melts in your mouth with every bite. Rich in quality protein, fiber, and healthy carbs, it provides sustained energy and helps keep hunger at bay, making it an ideal choice for meal prep or a quick snack on the go. Whether enjoyed warm with a spread of nut butter or sliced and topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt, this bread delivers both flavor and nutritional benefits in every slice. For those with dietary restrictions, it's easily adaptable—try using gluten-free oats or plant-based protein powder to make it vegan and gluten-free. To achieve the best results, ensure your bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and mash them thoroughly to prevent lumps; adding a handful of chopped nuts can also boost crunch and healthy fats. Perfect for anyone looking to indulge guilt-free while hitting their daily macro goals, this banana bread is a wholesome, versatile treat you’ll want to make again and again.

INGREDIENTS

  • 200g ripe bananas
  • 100g whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 80g oat flour
  • 50g almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 60g plain Greek yogurt
  • 30g honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

2

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Whisk in the eggs, Greek yogurt, and honey until well combined.

3

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix together the whey protein powder, oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.

4

Combine Wet and Dry

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

5

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6

Cool

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Slice is too dry

Try reducing baking time by 2-3 minutes, or add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter.

Not rising properly

Check that your baking powder is fresh (less than 6 months old). Also avoid overmixing the batter.

Gummy texture in center

This usually means under-baking. Use a toothpick to test - it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.

Too dense

Make sure you're measuring protein powder correctly. Too much protein powder can make baked goods dense.
