Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 3 medium Ripe Bananas Aim for very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and moisture.
  • 2 large Eggs Provide structure to the loaf for a perfect slice every time.
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt Adds moisture and tang; can be swapped with dairy-free yogurt for a dairy-free option.
  • 1.5 cups Oat Flour Keeps the bread gluten-friendly; ground rolled oats can be used if oat flour isn't available.
  • 0.5 cup Protein Powder Elevates protein content while ensuring a smooth texture without added chalkiness.
  • 0.25 cup Maple Syrup Adds gentle sweetness to balance the banana flavor harmoniously.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Brings warmth to the taste and fills your kitchen with delightful scents.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon A warm spice that beautifully complements the banana and adds depth.
Optional Add-ins
  • 0.5 cup Chopped Walnuts or Dark Chocolate Chips Mix in for added crunch or indulgent sweetness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan with parchment paper or cooking oil.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl, then whisk in the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently until no streaks of flour remain.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top, and bake for 55-60 minutes.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Slice and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
