Ingredients
3 overripe bananas
2 large eggs
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup oat flour or ground oats
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions

2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
3. Whisk in the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
4. Add the protein powder, oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Slice and serve warm or store for later.
Notes
For extra texture and flavor, fold in 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips.
You can substitute dairy-free yogurt and plant-based protein to make this loaf fully dairy-free.
Let the loaf cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
