Ingredients
  

  • 4 Large Ripe Banana's The riper the better! This is the main source of sweetness.
  • 3 Eggs M/L size
  • 150 grams Quark or Greek Yoghurt This is another source of protein so make sure you pick a high protein one
  • 1 tbsp Vanille Aroma
  • 150 grams Oat flour
  • 45 grams Protein Powder I found that vanilla flavour protein powder works best. But feel free to use your favourite!
  • 1.5 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon How much cinnamon you use is really up to your own taste.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F)
  • Peel and mash the 4 ripe bananas in a separate bowl using a fork until smooth. The riper, the better, as this enhances the sweetness.
  • In another large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas and 3 eggs. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light and fluffy.
  • Add the quark or Greek yogurt into the mixture. Stir until smooth.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla aroma and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon to the mixture. Adjust cinnamon to your taste for the perfect level of warmth and spice.
  • Gradually sift in 150 grams of oat flour and 1.5 tablespoons of baking powder. Stir gently to incorporate.
  • Add 30 grams of your favorite protein powder (vanilla works well) and mix until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
  • Fold in or sprinkle on your favorite toppings, such as pure chocolate chips or chopped nuts, for added texture and flavor.
  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake the banana bread for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice into pieces and enjoy!
