Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

......that ACTUALLY has more than 2 grams of protein per slice! And like always, made with natural, organic ingredients so you can enjoy this treat WITHOUT a sugar spike.

(Can easily be made Vegan** & GF*)

Prep time: 15minutes             Bake time: 45-50minutes            Makes 1 loaf: 12-20 slices

Ingredients:

• 1 & 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup plain pea protein
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cup raw honey
• 1/4 cup 0% plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup mashed, ripe bananas
• 2 whole, large eggs
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 TSP baking soda
• 1 TSP vanilla extract
• 1/2 TSP cinnamon
• 1/2 TSP sea salt

*To make GF use a GF flour replacement (almond flour, coconut flour, etc.)

**To make Vegan, use two "flax eggs" instead and use unsweetened applesauce in place of the Greek yogurt

Directions:

1. Preheat over to 325 degrees & grease a 9x5 inch pan.
2. In medium bowl, stir in the flour, pea protein, cinnamon, sea salt & baking soda. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine eggs, coconut oil, honey, Greek yogurt, vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes. Stir in the mashed bananas, then the flour mixture & lastly the dark chocolate chips. 
4. Pour the batter into the pan & bake for 45-50 minutes. Check with a toothpick to ensure it is done! Toothpick should come out clean.
5. Let cool 15 minutes & then indulge. Pairs well with a glass of vanilla almond milk!

We added some 0% plain Greek yogurt to it once sliced. Adds an extra 5g protein & tastes AMAZING on top!! See macros per slice below.
