I actually made this banana bread because I had some leftover Kodiak cake mix sitting around. But don’t worry! You can still make it with regular pancake mix (no baking powder needed) or even cake flour. It will be a little lower in protein, but the calories will be pretty similar. So as long as you’re mindful of portions, it’s still a great no-sugar baking recipe.
And just so you know – Lee is not a big fan of banana bread. But he finished the entire batch while I was away visiting my family in Korea for 10 days. So I think that says it all. Hope you guys enjoy this one!

Bananas
310gEggs
2 largeHigh-protein Greek yogurt
130gButter, melted
30gVanilla extract
10gGround cinnamon (optional)
2gBaking powder
2gStevia
10gKodiak protein pancake mix
300gLow-fat milk
300ml
Directions
- Preparation
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
- Crack in the eggs and mix well, then add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
- Melt the butter in the microwave and pour it into the wet mixture, stirring well to combine.
- Sift in the Kodiak protein pancake mix, stevia, and baking powder, and fold everything together.
- Finally, pour in the milk and mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Cooking
- Grease your tin with oil spray and line it with baking paper, then pour in the batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. To check if it’s done, insert a skewer or toothpick into the centre — if it comes out with wet batter, cover the tin with foil and bake at 200°C for a further 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the bread from the tin and cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
- Slice the bread and store it in the fridge up to 10 days!

Notes
- You can substitute the protein pancake mix for regular pancake mix, but keep in mind the protein per serving will be lower. The calories will be roughly the same.
- One thing to note — if you’re using regular pancake mix instead of protein pancake mix, you won’t need to add baking powder!
- Baking times may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the colour and always check the centre with a skewer.
- I love slicing and toasting mine on a pan or sandwich press with a little butter before eating. If you have fat macros to spare, it’s amazing with a dollop of whipped cream!
