If you’re hunting for a breakfast or snack that tastes indulgent but secretly packs a punch, this high-protein banana bread is your new best friend. Each slice delivers around 10 grams of protein, making it the ultimate way to satisfy your cravings and your goals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose, spelt, or oat flour (swap in almond flour if you’re feeling adventurous)
  • ½ cup protein powder (about 60 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups mashed, super-ripe bananas (the more spots, the better!)
  • ½ cup yogurt (or just use more banana if you prefer dairy-free)
  • ½ cup maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar
  • ⅓ cup oil or water
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, shredded coconut — whatever makes you happy

Instructions

  1. Prep your pan: Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line the base with parchment paper. This little trick makes it way easier to lift the bread out later.
  2. Preheat: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it warm up while you mix.
  3. Mix it up: In one big bowl, combine everything — wet and dry — until you’ve got a smooth, thick batter. No fancy equipment, no multiple bowls, just easy-peasy.
  4. Pour & bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes on the center rack.
  5. Here’s the magic move: Once the timer dings, turn off the oven but don’t open the door. Leave your bread inside for another 5 minutes to finish baking gently.
  6. Check doneness: If the middle still looks a little gooey (ovens can be moody), loosely cover the top with foil and bake for another few minutes — just until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  7. Cool completely: Let the loaf rest before removing it from the pan. Run a knife around the edges, flip it onto a plate, and take in that heavenly banana aroma.
  8. Pro tip: If you can resist slicing right away, let it sit overnight. The flavor deepens, the texture sets, and it somehow becomes even better the next day.

Notes

✨ Bonus Ideas

  • Slice and top with almond butter for a post-workout snack.
