Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are well beaten. Add the heavy whipping cream and stir until combined.
In a separate bowl, peel and mash the bananas using a fork or potato masher until they are smooth. Make sure there are minimal lumps for a smoother bread texture.
Add the mashed bananas to the egg and cream mixture. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Gradually add the whey protein powder to the wet mixture. It may be helpful to add it one scoop at a time to prevent clumping. Stir thoroughly to ensure the protein powder is fully incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and water to the batter, stirring to combine.

Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Make sure to use ripe bananas; they add natural sweetness and moisture to the bread.
- If you want to add some texture and extra flavor, consider mixing in some nuts or chocolate chips before baking.
- To avoid overmixing, combine the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in a dense bread.
