Ingredients
Chocolate Banana Batter
- 3 bananas very ripe
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup cup-for-cup zero-calorie sugar alternative
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 11-ounce bottle vanilla protein shake Equate Vanilla tested
S’mores Topping
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup sugar-free mini marshmallows or regular mini marshmallows
- 2 full sheets graham crackers roughly crushed
Leavening
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8×8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Add the bananas, egg, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, sugar alternative, salt, vanilla extract, and protein shake to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly into the corners.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the batter. Add the marshmallows, then finish with the roughly crushed graham crackers.
- Bake for 30–32 minutes. The tested batch was done at exactly 32 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the bread rather than through a chocolate chip or marshmallow; it is ready when no wet batter remains.
- Cool in the pan for at least 20–30 minutes before slicing into 6 squares.

- Keep the graham crackers in visible pieces rather than fine crumbs.
