  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: One loaf (about 10 slices)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (choose your favorite flavor)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  3. Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or line with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and flavor.
  • Add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze slices individually for longer storage.
