Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
¾ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 scoop (30 g) vanilla whey protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp zero-calorie sweetener (optional)
Instructions

  1. Prepare
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients
    In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth.
    Whisk in eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a separate bowl, combine oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and sweetener.
  4. Combine
    Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
    Let batter rest for 5 minutes so the oats absorb some liquid.
  5. Bake
    Pour into the prepared pan.
    Smooth the top with a spatula.
    Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool

    Cut into 12 squares.
