Rich and satisfying chocolate banana bread that wont kill your macros.
Ingredients
3 ripe bananas
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 egg
2 tbsp canola oil
-
2 scoops protein powder- any flavor works
1/4 cup black cocoa powder (regular cocoa powder works too)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, take your ripe bananas and mash them until smooth.
Add the maple syrup, egg, and canola oil to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Add in the protein powder, black cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can result in a dense bread.
Mix in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into a lined and greased loaf pan. *Add extra chocolate chips to the top for a bit of extra goodness!
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the centre of the bread. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs clinging to it, your banana bread is ready.
Allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. This helps it set and become easier to slice.
After cooling slightly, transfer the banana bread to a wire rack to cool completely. Keep in an air tight container for freshness.
