Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed (approx 330g)
  • 150 g non -fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large egg s
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 150 g chocolate whey protein isolate
  • 120 g oat flour
  • 40 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 40 g sugar -free dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is homogeneous.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate whey protein, oat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, ensuring there are no large clumps.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture using a spatula until just incorporated; do not overmix as this can result in a rubbery texture.
  • Fold in 30g of the chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 10g for the topping.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula, then sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the surface.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice into 8 equal portions to ensure the targeted protein distribution of 20g per serving.
