Make a moist, familiar banana bread with added protein using Greek yogurt and your favorite protein powder. This is a great post-workout snack or healthy breakfast idea.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  3. Stir in the brown sugar.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix only until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a lower-sugar option, substitute the brown sugar with a sugar substitute equivalent to 1/2 cup of sugar.
  • You can use any flavor of whey protein powder, but vanilla works best for a classic taste.
  • If your batter seems too thick due to the protein powder, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or water until it reaches a thick but pourable consistency.
