Why this remake works

Greek yogurt and banana provide moisture so less oil is needed.
Oat flour and protein powder raise protein versus a standard cake loaf.
Ripe bananas sweeten the crumb so added sugar stays moderate.
Sliced into ten portions for clearer serving sizes.

40 g

1 1/2 tsp

1/4 tsp

Method

Heat the oven to 175°C (fan 155°C). Line a 900 g / 2 lb loaf tin with baking parchment.
Whisk oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
In another bowl, whisk mashed banana, yogurt, eggs, honey, oil and vanilla until smooth.
Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in walnuts if using. Do not overmix.
Pour into the tin and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool fully before slicing into 10 pieces.

Chef tips

If the top browns early, tent loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes.
Protein powders vary in absorbency — if the batter looks extremely thick, loosen with 1–2 tbsp milk.

Substitutions

Protein powder → Extra 40 g oat flour (loaf will be less high-protein)
Walnuts → Dark chocolate chips
