• 1 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs and beat them into the mashed bananas until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the Greek yogurt, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
