Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Bananas: Start by mashing ripe bananas until smooth—this will be the base for natural sweetness and moisture in the bread.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and the mashed bananas until well combined and creamy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to ensure a light texture and even flavor distribution.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix, which keeps the bread tender.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into a greased or lined loaf pan, smooth the top, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use really ripe bananas to enhance natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture.
  • Maintain a consistent oven temperature of 350°F for even baking.
  • Greek yogurt adds moistness and protein without adding excess calories.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
