Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

Add the eggs, greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and almond milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 4

Sift in the vanilla protein powder, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the banana bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy your high protein banana bread on its own or with a spread of your choice. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
