Chocolate Walnut Protein Banana Bread
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup oat flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain Vanilla)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
- ¼ cup Lily’s milk chocolate chips + extra for topping
- Zero-calorie confectioners’ sugar (I like this one or this one)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with baking spray and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently mix in the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the batter for a melty, irresistible finish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing. For a touch of extra sweetness, dust with zero-calorie confectioners’ sugar before serving.
