Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted, or olive oil/butter
- ¼ cup (60 g) maple syrup
- ¼ cup (60 g) plain skyr yogurt or plain greek yogurt
- 1 ¼ cup (120 g) almond flour
- ⅔ cup (80 g) whey protein powder vanilla
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 80½ cup (80 g) dark chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 8×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl using the back of a fork. Add eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, and yogurt, whisk until combined.
- Stir in almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips (optional: keep a few aside for decoration – next step). Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Optional: Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven.→ Cover the banana bread with aluminum foil after 20 minutes to prevent it from getting too dark (the protein powder causes the bread to brown more quickly).
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let it cool completely before slicing.

Store leftovers in an airtight container or packed in aluminum wrap for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Freeze: Once cool, transfer the bread (I suggest slicing it beforehand) into a freezer bag and freeze for a maximum of 3 months. Allow to thaw in the fridge overnight, or rebake frozen bread for a few minutes in the oven. Single slices can be thawed for 30 minutes at room temperature.
