Ingredients:

  • 3 large overripe bananas, mashed (approx. 330g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 125g plain non fat Greek yogurt
  • 60ml pure maple syrup
  • 5ml pure vanilla extract
  • 120g oat flour
  • 60g chocolate whey protein powder
  • 30g unsweetened dark cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 80g dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C. Note: A preheated oven ensures the baking soda activates immediately for maximum rise.
  2. Mash 330g of overripe bananas in a large bowl. Cook until completely smooth with no large lumps.
  3. Whisk 2 eggs, 125g Greek yogurt, 60ml maple syrup, and 5ml vanilla into the bananas. Note: Whisking thoroughly aerates the mixture, leading to a lighter bread.
  4. Combine 120g oat flour, 60g protein powder, 30g cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until the last streak of flour disappears.
  6. Stir in 80g of dark chocolate chips gently.
  7. Pour the batter into a lined loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Rest the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack. Wait until completely cool before slicing.
