Protein PB Banana Bread

 

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt (I used Vanilla)
• 1 cup mashed banana (very ripe; about 2 large)
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter (or melted unsalted butter) (I used Skippy Natural)
• ⅓ cup maple syrup (or sugar plus 2 tablespoons milk)
• 3 eggs (lightly beaten)
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup protein powder (I used Vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a mini loaf pan or standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. 
• In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt, banana, maple syrup, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
• Gently stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture. 
• Pour batter into the prepared pan. 
• Bake for 26-28 minutes if using a mini loaf pan or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
• To make in a standard 9x5-inch baking loaf pan, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for 55-60 minutes. Towards the end of baking, if the bread is browning a lot on top, cover with foil and continue baking.
