Ingredients

3 whole bananas, peel on ((Leaving the peels on makes this banana bread extra moist and jam-packed with essential nutrients))
3 large eggs
3 tbsps ghee (clarified butter)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

2 tsps granulated stevia
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup plus 2 tbsps dark chocolate chips ((70% or more unsweetened cocoa))

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Line a 4-cup load pan (8" x 4" x 2 1/2") with parchment paper.
2

In a blender, combine the bananas (still in their peels), eggs, ghee, vanilla, and almond milk and blend until smooth.
3

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, walnuts, protein powder, stevia, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Add the banana mixture and stir to incorporate. Fold in 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the prepared load pan, spreading it evenly, and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips on top.

Bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Slice and serve, or store in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to a week.

Note: Adjust spices to taste. Enjoy your meal!
