- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
- Coconut oil or cooking spray, for greasing the pan

Directions
- In a blender, pulse the oats until finely ground into a flour-like consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, mashed banana, chocolate protein powder, almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and no lumps remain.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips into the batter.
