Method

  1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a loaf tin with parchment paper or lightly grease.
  2. Mash: Add bananas to a large bowl and mash until mostly smooth.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: Add eggs, Greek yoghurt, vanilla and milk to the bananas and whisk until fully combined.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together self raising flour, collagen, whey protein, and cinnamon.
  5. Fold: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently fold until just combined.
  6. Add texture: Stir in chopped pecans or walnuts if using.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin, smooth the top, and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
