The details

Why It Works

Plain nonfat Greek yogurt

Adds moisture, tenderness, and protein while keeping the loaf light.

Pea protein

Anthony's unflavored pea protein gives the loaf a substantial protein boost.

Banana applesauce

Banana applesauce adds moisture and reinforces the banana flavor.

PBfit

Adds peanut flavor and additional protein while keeping the recipe relatively low in fat.

Step by step

Instructions

Preheat

Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Dry Mix

Whisk the flour, Anthony's pea protein, PBfit powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.

Wet Mix

In a larger bowl, vigorously whisk the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, banana applesauce, coconut sugar, liquid egg whites, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Combine

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula just until the flour disappears.

Bake

Pour into the pan. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top is browning too quickly before the center is fully baked, loosely tent with foil for the remaining bake time.

Before you bake

Recipe Tips

Use very ripe, heavily spotted bananas for the strongest banana flavor.
Fold only until the dry ingredients disappear to avoid overworking the batter.
Every oven is different. Begin testing for doneness around 45 minutes and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
For the most accurate macro tracking, weigh your slice. This finished loaf weighed 824 g.
