CHOCOLATE CHIP PROTEIN BANANA BREAD

This decadent chocolate chip banana bread packs an impressive 23 grams of protein per serving, making it an ideal choice for fueling your day or recovering after a tough workout. The moist, tender crumb is enriched with ripe bananas, delivering natural sweetness and a subtle fruity flavor that pairs perfectly with melty chocolate chips. Each bite offers a harmonious balance of rich chocolate and banana, with a satisfying texture that’s both dense and tender, making it incredibly moreish. With its high protein content and moderate calories, this bread is perfect for meal prep, snacks, or a nutritious breakfast that keeps you energized and full longer. It’s naturally gluten-free if made with almond or coconut flour, and vegan-friendly options are easy to adapt with plant-based protein and dairy-free chocolate. For best results, use very ripe bananas for maximum flavor and moisture, and gently fold in the chocolate chips to keep them evenly distributed. Toasted slightly before serving enhances the flavor and adds a delightful crunch on the outside, making every bite even more enjoyable. Whether you’re looking to boost your macros or indulge in a healthier treat, this banana bread is a delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising your fitness goals.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Slice is too dry

Try reducing baking time by 2-3 minutes, or add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter.

Not rising properly

Check that your baking powder is fresh (less than 6 months old). Also avoid overmixing the batter.

Gummy texture in center

This usually means under-baking. Use a toothpick to test - it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.

Too dense

Make sure you're measuring protein powder correctly. Too much protein powder can make baked goods dense.
