If you love chocolate banana bread but are looking for a dairy-free and gluten-free option with an extra boost of protein, this recipe is an easy one to keep on repeat. It’s rich, chocolatey, naturally sweetened with ripe bananas, and made with almond flour and protein powder for a satisfying breakfast, snack, or chocolate treat.
Why You'll Love This Chocolate Protein Banana Bread
Dairy-free and gluten-free. Made without traditional dairy or wheat flour.
Protein boost. Eggs, almond flour, dairy-free yogurt, and protein powder all contribute protein.
One-bowl friendly. The batter comes together without a complicated process or special equipment.
Great use for ripe bananas. Those spotted bananas sitting on the counter are exactly what you want here.
Chocolatey without being overly sweet. Cocoa powder, chocolate chips, banana, and maple syrup give it plenty of flavor.

A Few Tips Before You Bake
Use very ripe bananas. The more brown spots, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
Don't overmix the batter. Mix the dry ingredients just until incorporated, then gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Watch the baking time. Start checking around 40 minutes. A few moist crumbs on the toothpick are fine.
Let it cool before slicing. This is especially important with almond-flour breads because the loaf continues to set as it cools.
