Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl, then whisk in the yogurt, liquid sweetener, and oil or water.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, then whisk until mixed.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for about 40 minutes. Afterward, let it sit in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
  8. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
