Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons Truvia (or any preferred sweetener)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil (or canola oil)
  • 3/4 cup mashed banana (about 2 medium bananas)
  • 2 large egg whites (or 6 tablespoons liquid egg whites)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup nonfat milk powder
  • 1/4 cup collagen peptides (2 scoops if using Vital Proteins)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or lightly grease it with oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, nonfat milk powder, collagen peptides, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and both salts until well combined.
  • In another bowl, mash your ripe bananas until smooth. Add in the Truvia, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, egg whites, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
