Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 5 oz non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp light butter
- 2 egg whites
- 1½ cups whole wheat white flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup Stevia (or your favorite sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup semi-sweet dark chocolate mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 330 degrees.
- Spray two loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. I used regular sized loaf pans or you could use mini loaf pans.
- In a small bowl, mash bananas using a fork and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter, yogurt, vanilla, and brown sugar, and Stevia.
- Add in egg whites and mashed bananas to wet ingredients and beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, add whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Using a wire whisk, gently mix dry ingredients together.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix together until blended but not over mixed.
- Fold in chocolate chips to mixture.
- Transfer mixture evenly into the two loaf pans. Both pans should only be about ½ full with mixture. If using mini loaf pans, the mixture should make 4 mini loafs.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until a fork inserted in the middle of chocolate chip banana bread loaf comes out clean. If using mini loaf pans, bake for only 25-30 minutes. Tip: I used 2 standard size loaf pans (8.5x4.5) and filled each one ½ way full. However, you can also use mini loaf pans, but you will need 4 of them.
I never thought about putting chocolate chips into banana bread, but my friend Taryn told me she had a great recipe and I had to try it and it came out great! We found the recipe on Skinnymom.com ! Try out this recipe and let me know what you think :)
