Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the non-fat Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and egg to the mashed bananas. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the protein powder, whole wheat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve this high-protein banana chocolate cake as a satisfying treat!
