  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 1012 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cup white, spelt, or oat flour
  • 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 cup mashed overripe banana
  • 1/2 cup yogurt or additional banana
  • 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

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Stir all ingredients together until combined.
  3. Smooth the batter into the prepared pan.
  4. Bake for 40 minutes.
  5. Turn off the oven without opening the door, and leave the bread inside for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. If the center is still soft, cover with foil and continue baking until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  7. Let cool, then run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate.
  8. For best taste and texture, wait until the next day before slicing.

Notes

  • You can substitute yogurt with extra banana if desired.
  • Great with add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or coconut.
  • Use leftover bananas to make banana oatmeal cookies.
