Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 7

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed – The spottier, the better
  • 2 eggs – For structure and protein power
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey – Natural sweetness
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted or olive oil – Moisture magic
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt – Creamy + extra protein
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – Baking’s best friend
  • 1 cup oat flour – Or blended oats
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder – The hero ingredient
  • 1 tsp baking soda – Rise and shine
  • ½ tsp cinnamon – Cozy vibes
  • ¼ tsp salt – Balance is key
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips – Non-negotiable

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Do this first. A cold oven ruins baked goods and moods.
  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • This makes removal easy and prevents emotional damage later.
  • Mash the bananas.
  • In a large bowl, mash until mostly smooth. A few lumps are fine—character, not flaws.
  • Add wet ingredients.
  • Mix in eggs, maple syrup, oil, yogurt, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Mix dry ingredients separately.
  • In another bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Combine wet and dry.
  • Gently fold dry ingredients into wet. Don’t overmix. Overmixing = dense sadness.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Save a few for topping if you’re feeling fancy.
  • Pour into pan.
  • Smooth the top and sprinkle extra chips if desired.
  • Bake for 45–55 minutes.
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Moist crumbs = perfect.
  • Cool before slicing.
  • Let it cool at least 20 minutes. Cutting too early is self-sabotage.
