Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mash Bananas

Mash bananas until mostly smooth with small chunks remaining.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

Mix until creamy and smooth.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk:

• Oat flour
• Chocolate protein powder
• Baking powder
• Salt

Step 5: Combine Batter

Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients.

Do not overmix.

Batter should be thick but spreadable.

If too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons milk.

Step 6: Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in chocolate chips.

Reserve a few for topping.

Step 7: Bake

Transfer batter into prepared pan.

Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.

Bake for 40–50 minutes.
