For the Batter

  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Protein Powder Vanilla or chocolate protein powder works if needed.
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda Essential for rise.
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder Works with baking soda to help the bread rise.

  • 1 cup Dairy-Free Yogurt (Coconut or Almond-based) Regular yogurt may alter flavor and nutrition.

  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup Honey is an option if not vegan.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free oat flour, peanut butter protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, then stir in the dairy-free yogurt, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  4. If using eggs, whisk them into your wet mixture; for a vegan option, substitute with flax eggs prepared with ground flaxseed and water.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  6. Scoop the batter into your greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Once baked, cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and moisture; avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender. Experiment with add-ins and variations as desired.
