Bake a moist, protein-packed loaf using oat flour and Greek yogurt. This recipe delivers a satisfying, fitness-friendly treat perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat for best moisture)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix until just combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until no dry streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped nuts, if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For the best flavor and moisture, use very ripe, spotty bananas.
  • If your protein powder is very absorbent, you may need to add one extra tablespoon of milk or water to the batter to maintain a moist consistency.
  • This protein banana bread is excellent for meal prep; store slices wrapped individually in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
