    If you love chocolate and banana bread, you HAVE TO MAKE this healthy chocolate banana bread by The Diet Chef. Only 4 Weight Watcher Points Plus #Healthybananabread #BananaBread #WeightWatchers

     

    What's better than banana bread?

    How about high protein, chocolate banana bread?

    Being the banana bread lover that I am, it only made sense to make this healthy chocolate banana bread as my second recipe for the blog.

    You can find the first banana bread recipe here.

    3 Things I love about this recipe:

    1. It has the perfect balance of chocolate and banana
    2. The bites with mini chocolate chips are heaven on earth
    3. The protein content (9.5g per slice)

    If you try this chocolate banana bread out, don't forget to snap a pic and tag it #thedietchef
    And of course, you can always check out this recipe, and many many more on my YouTube Channel

      Hi! The ingredients description says ¼ Tsp baking powder and ¾ Tsp baking powder but in the video you said one of these measures is baking soda. Which one in baking power and which one is baking soda?
      And do you know any substitute for apple sauce? I can't find it in my country and I'm always kinda lost watching your recipes cause many of them have apple sauce... thank you! =)

        3/4 tsp Baking soda and 1/4 tsp baking powder. I think an extra mashed banana can do the job. Also, pureed prunes can work as an equal sub. for the apple sauce too :D

      Hi there!:)

      Quick question.If I leave out the protein powder ,do I need to add more oat flour and if yes,how much?

      Also can I remove the oil and add in more applesauce or is the oil necessary?

      Appreciate any help

      Thanks

        Hi Ann!

        However much protein you don't use, you'll have to add that amount in oat flour (or close to it). You'll need to add more cocoa powder and sugar substitute too - as the protein powder is adding both sweetness and chocolate flavor to this recipe. So, if you don't use any protein powder I'd probably add something like 75g oat flour, 10g sugar substitute, and 5g unsweetened cocoa powder. Hope these tips help! Also, I'd keep the oil in the recipe, it just gives it more structure, as it already is a pretty gooey banana bread.

      Would it work to use coconut flour instead of oat flour?
      Thanks

        You might be able to sub some of the oat flour out, but def. not all of it.
