Ingredients

Bread:

  • 3 medium bananas (ripe)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup (60 g) nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew or sunflower seed butter)
  • ⅓ cup (70 g) granular sweetener (monk fruit, or brown sugar)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅙ tsp sea salt
  • 1 ½ cup (150 g) oat flour (or preferred flour)
  • ½ cup (50 g) cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup (40 g) chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (50 g) protein powder (as a replacement for ½ cup (50 g) flour)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Heat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 20 cm (7.9 inches) loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil.
  2. Mash bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash three ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Stir nut butter and eggs into the banana mixture.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: Add the granular sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir the wet mixture until well combined.
  4. Add dry ingredients: Stir in oat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Fold through chocolate chips.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the loaf pan, top with chocolate chips if desired, and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool: Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • You can use any preferred flour in place of oat flour.
  • Protein powder can be substituted for part of the flour for added protein content.
  • Feel free to add nuts or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
