Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup oat flour

1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions
 

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

    Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the 3 ripe bananas until smooth.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, almond milk, almond butter, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If using honey or maple syrup, fold it in now. Be careful not to overmix.

            Add Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts if you’re using them.

              Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula for an even baking surface.

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

                  Cool: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the banana bread into 12 equal pieces. Each slice is packed with approximately 10 grams of protein! Enjoy it plain or with a spread of your choice!
