Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup melted coconut oil

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup oat flour

1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (or your choice of protein powder)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted coconut oil. Stir until well mixed. Add the honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

        Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.

          Pour into Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.

              Cool and Slice: Once done, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice into 10 pieces.

                Serve: Enjoy your delicious protein banana bread as a nutritious snack or a hearty breakfast!
