Description

Fill your house with the wonderful aroma of freshly-baked banana bread! This bread not only looks and tastes great, it is much healthier than traditional banana bread. Made with whole wheat flour, less fat, and less sugar, a slice of this bread has less than half the calories of most banana breads.

Ingredients

  • 2  Eggs
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ⅓ cups Yogurt (plain, I Used Nonfat)
  • 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil Or Melted Butter
  • 3  Medium Bananas, Mashed
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-½ cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ cups Semi-sweet (or Dark!) Chocolate Chips
  • ¼ cups Milk (I Used 1 Percent)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 8½ x 4½ x 2½-inch pan.
2. In a medium-sized bowl or food processor, whisk together eggs, sugar, yogurt, and oil. Stir in mashed banana and vanilla.
3. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4. Add banana mixture to flour mixture and stir to combine.
5. Place chocolate chips and milk in 2 or 4-cup measure, or in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 30-50 seconds (until chocolate just starts to melt). Remove from microwave and stir until smooth.
6. Add 1 cup of batter to chocolate mixture, and stir until combined. Place alternating spoonfuls of chocolate and plain batters into the loaf pan. With a knife, swirl batters together.
7. Bake bread until golden brown on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean (about 1 hour). Remove from pan and cool on rack.
