Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
  • Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Whisk together the wet ingredients: Add eggs, milk, yoghurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the mashed bananas. Use an electric whisk to combine.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the protein powder, oat flour, ground cinnamon, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold in most of the chocolate chips, saving some for the topping.
  • Pour into the Tin: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake: Cover the top of the tin loosely with tin foil to prevent over-browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the banana bread to cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
  • Serve: Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy as a protein-packed snack or dessert.
