Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add the Greek yogurt, eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until well combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. If using mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in now.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
  6. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Protein Powder Note: Whey or whey-casein blends provide the best texture. If using a plant-based protein, you may need to add an extra tablespoon of milk or oil as they are more absorbent.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Freezing: Wrap individual slices and freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
