Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 900 g (2 lb) loaf tin with baking paper.

  2. 2

    Mash the bananas well, then whisk in the eggs, egg whites, Greek yogurt and maple syrup.

  3. 3

    In another bowl mix the oat flour, whey, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Fold into the wet mix until just combined, then fold in most of the walnuts and chocolate.

  4. 4

    Scrape into the tin, scatter the remaining walnuts and chocolate on top and bake until risen and a skewer comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil after 30 minutes if it browns too fast.

  5. 5

    Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then on a rack before slicing into 8. Keeps 4 days in an airtight tin, or freeze individual slices.
