Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups of whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop of vanilla or your favorite flavor of protein powder banana bread
- 1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or Greek yogurt
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional add-ins: nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add honey or maple syrup, Greek yogurt or applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- If desired, fold in nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan and slicing.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and moistness.
- Adjust sweetness with additional honey or maple syrup as desired.
- Replace whole wheat flour with almond or oat flour for variation.
- If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk or plant-based milk to reach desired consistency.
