Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups white, spelt, or oat flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1/2 cup protein powder (60g)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups mashed overripe banana
- 1/2 cup yogurt (or additional banana for a dairy-free option)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
- 1/3 cup oil or water
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Optional: chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut, etc.
Instructions
- Grease a 9×5 loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, stir all ingredients together until fully combined. Smooth the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, turn off the oven but do not open the door. Leave the banana bread in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- If the bread is still soft in the center, cover the top with tin foil and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Let the bread cool, then use a knife to go around the edges before inverting it onto a plate.
- For the best flavor and texture, let the bread sit overnight.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the yogurt with more mashed banana or a non-dairy yogurt alternative.
- Feel free to add optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, walnuts, or shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.
