Ingredients
- 2 ripe medium-sized bananas, mashed

- 2 eggs (or sub flax eggs for a vegan version)
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons Vital Proteins Hot Cocoa Collagen Latte* *If you don’t have collagen on hand, feel free to omit it or use your favorite paleo-friendly protein powder instead.
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard bread dish with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper and pan to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, nut butter, and eggs. Use a mixer (or stir vigorously with a wooden spoon) until smooth and well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cacao powder, collagen powder (if using), cinnamon, and baking powder.
- Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy your delectable moist banana bread with almond flour.
