WHAT YOU NEED:

• ¾ cup oats*
• ¾ cup flour*
• ½ cup vanilla whey protein powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 egg
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Optional add-ins:

• 1/4 cup sourdough discard
• 1/2 cup diced apples (I added my own homemade chunky apple sauce)
• 1/4 chocolate chips*
• 1/4 nuts of your choice*

*I get my organic sprouted oats, flour, nuts, and chocolate chips from Thrive Market at a great price. 

WHAT YOU DO:

Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a loaf pan with parchment with the ends coming up past the sides of the pan for easy loaf removal.

Pulse oats in a food process until you get your desired texture (I prefer mine a little courser to get that oaty flavor and texture).

Move oats to a mixing bowl and stir in protein powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

In another bowl, mix your mashed bananas, egg, yogurt, vanilla, and maple syrup until combined.

Gently fold in dry ingredients, followed by any additional add-ins.

Pour into your lined loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 35:00-45:00, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover with foil part way through baking if it starts to get a little toasty.

Slice, serve, and ENJOY! I love mine toasted up for breakfast with a scoop of whipped cottage cheese for even more protein.
