Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 3 pcs ripe bananas (mashed) The riper, the better for flavor.
  • 2 large eggs For a vegan option, substitute with flax eggs.
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk Or milk of choice.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour Whole wheat flour can be used as a substitute.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder Any protein powder can be used.
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder Unsweetened.
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks Optional for additional chocolate flavor.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Optional for added sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until everything is well combined.
  6. If you prefer a sweeter bread, add honey or maple syrup at this point and stir in chocolate chips if using.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil for the remaining baking time.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, slice, and enjoy!
