Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 cup fine almond flour
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder any baking-friendly brand
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas about 3 medium bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup chocolate chips plus a small handful for the top

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly coating it with cooking spray.
  • Add the oat flour, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt to a large bowl. Stir until the dry mixture looks evenly blended.
  • In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and uniform.
  • Transfer the dry mixture into the bowl of wet ingredients. Stir gently until no dry pockets remain. Do not overmix to keep the texture soft.
  • Add the chocolate chips and fold them through the batter.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the surface if desired.
  • Bake for 55 to 65 minutes. The loaf is ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. A small amount of moisture is fine since the bread continues to set while cooling. Check around the 30-minute mark and loosely cover with foil if the top is browning too quickly.

Notes

Keep the banana bread in a sealed container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week. For extended storage, freeze the loaf or individual slices for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator, on the counter, or warm briefly in a microwave or toaster oven before serving.
