Servings: 10 slices
Calories: 228kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 76g
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 76g
- 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder (PEScience) 93g
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 4 overripe bananas, mashed 500g
- 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt 112g, room temperature
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted 50 ml
- 1/4 cup maple syrup 80 ml
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Spray the bread pan and place a piece of parchment inside with flaps hanging on the long sides of the pan to create “handles.” This will be easier to pull the bread out once it’s baked.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, vanilla whey protein powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: mashed overripe bananas, nonfat Greek yogurt, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix!
- Pour the batter into the bread pan and let it sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles, then bake for 50-60 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and letting it cool for another 30 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Nutritional value is an estimate.
- Nutrition facts are an estimate and will change with any substitutions.
- The recommended protein powder is PEScience gourmet vanilla (code OHSNAP to save) for the best taste and texture. Using others will result in varying results.
-
Frozen Bananas: If you are using frozen bananas, they are very concentrated in flavor and moisture. Halve the amount you use to 2 overripe bananas (250 grams) and make sure to include the liquid as well. Bake at the same temperature and time and it will be just as tasty!
