Protein Banana Bread: Moist and Fuel-Focused

Ingredients

• 3 large (150g) overripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
• 2 large (100g) eggs
• 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
• 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
• 1 cup (120g) vanilla whey protein powder
• 1 cup (120g) almond flour
• 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
• 1/2 tsp (3g) cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.

3. 3

   Whisk in the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is velvety and cohesive.

4. 4

   Gradually fold in the protein powder, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir only until no dry streaks remain to avoid overmixing.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

6. 6

   Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

7. 7

   Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
