Method

1
Heat the oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment.
2
Mix the flax with 3 tablespoons of water and let it thicken for 5 minutes.
3
Mash the bananas, then whisk in the flax mixture, oat milk, maple, oil, vanilla and cinnamon.
4
Whisk the flour, the protein powder, baking powder and salt in a second bowl, then fold into the wet mix until just combined. Fold in the walnuts.
5
Pour into the pan and bake until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6
Cool in the pan 15 minutes, then on a rack. Slicing it hot makes it gummy, so be strong.

Storage

Keeps 4 days wrapped on the counter or 5 in the fridge. Freeze slices for up to 3 months.

Good to know

Protein powder bakes up drier than flour, so don't skip the oil or overbake it.
