Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla flavor recommended)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, eggs, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.

      In another bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

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

          Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and dark chocolate chips if using.

            Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Once baked, let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Slice and enjoy your delicious protein-packed banana bread, with each slice boasting approximately 10 grams of protein!
