INSTRUCTIONS

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

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

TROUBLESHOOTING

My breads are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
