Ingredients

• 3 large Overripe bananas
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened vanilla Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.25 cup Honey (or maple syrup for less processed sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stir until just combined.

Step 6

If you're using walnuts, almonds, or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Slice the bread into 10 even portions and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
