whole wheat flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Almond flour is gluten-free and healthier, while all-purpose flour is often cheaper.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and coat it with coconut oil.

In a large bowl, combine oat flour, almond flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.

Whisk the dry ingredients together using a fork.

In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until you have 1 cup (265g).

Add Greek yogurt, one whole egg, egg whites, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with chocolate chips.

Bake for 35-45 minutes, covering with foil after 25 minutes to prevent over-browning.

Let the banana bread cool in the pan before removing and slicing.
