Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 2 large eggs
• 60 grams vanilla protein powder
• 120 grams whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 120 grams Greek yogurt
• 60 grams honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 50 grams walnuts, chopped
• 60 milliliters olive oil or melted coconut oil

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 until smooth. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and olive oil, then stir until all the wet ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the loaf dense.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cooled, slice into 10 pieces and enjoy your high protein banana loaf as a snack or a wholesome breakfast!
