Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
An excellent excuse to indulge in chocolate for breakfast, this decadent banana bread is actually on the healthier side.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
- 1 cup mashed overripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
- 1/3 cup neutral-flavored vegetable oil, such as safflower oil
- 1/2 cup unrefined granulated sugar, such as evaporated cane juice
- 1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk mashed bananas, oil, both sugars, egg, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
- Add dry ingredients to wet and stir just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
