Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash 3 ripe bananas in a large bowl. Add 2 eggs, 1 cup of Greek yogurt, ½ cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of whole wheat flour, 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in any optional mix-ins like ½ cup of nuts or chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. It's done when a toothpick comes out clean.
