Step 1

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

Step 3

Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats (if using whole oats, blend them into flour), cocoa powder, protein powder, and salt.

Step 5

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until fully combined and the batter is thick. If the batter seems too thick, add a little more almond milk until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 6

Add Coconut and Optional Chocolate Chips: Stir in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips (if using).

Step 7

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.

Step 8

Cool: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
