Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large very ripe bananas
- 1 large egg
- 75 g full-fat yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 85 g stevia or granulated sweetener*
- 100 g self-raising flour*
- 50 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Add-ins
- 30 g chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (356°F) and allow it to fully heat up before baking.
- Mash bananas and combine wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth with minimal lumps. Whisk in the egg, full-fat yogurt, vanilla extract, and stevia until the mixture is well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the self-raising flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon to the wet mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Carefully fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.
- Prepare and bake: Pour the batter into a lined loaf tin and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out with very few crumbs attached.
- Cool and serve: Allow the banana bread to cool for about 10 minutes in the loaf tin before removing. Serve warm and enjoy your low-calorie chocolate banana bread.

- If unavailable, self-raising flour can be made by combining 100 g all-purpose flour with 1 tsp baking powder.
