Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ½ cups)
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or your favorite sugar substitute
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs or egg substitute
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 scoops (around ½ cup) vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 1¾ cups oat flour or whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • ¼ cup peanut butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork or potato masher.
  3. Add applesauce, maple syrup, coconut oil, eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, whisking until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, whisking for even distribution.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Fold in optional nuts or peanut butter if desired.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 65 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For maximum sweetness and moisture, use very ripe bananas. Store in an airtight container or freeze for longer shelf life.
