Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas (about 300g), mashed

• 3 whole eggs

• 150g Greek yogurt (unsweetened)

• 50g natural peanut butter

• 50g prunes, chopped

• 100g almonds (coarsely ground or chopped)

• 30g pumpkin seeds

• 70g steel-cut oats

• 90g vanilla whey protein powder

• 30g pea protein powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• Pinch of salt

• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• Topping: 1–2 tbsp sesame seeds and 20–30g chopped walnuts

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan) and line a loaf tin with baking paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients — bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, prunes, almonds, pumpkin seeds, steel-cut oats, protein powders, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla.

3. Mix gently until everything is evenly combined. Don’t overmix — just enough to bring it together.

4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top.

5. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped walnuts evenly over the top.

6. Bake for 50–60 minutes (steel-cut oats take a little longer to soften), or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

7. Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing.
