Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Add the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use overripe bananas for natural sweetness. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a week.
