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

My breads are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
