- ½ cup full fat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas 3 medium bananas
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, maple syrup, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the banana bread from the oven. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- Recipe adapted from Eating Bird Food.
- It’s important to take the bread out of the pan to finish cooling, so it doesn’t get dry.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, or it can make the bread tough.
- For the best flavor, use pure maple syrup and not pancake syrup.
