Wholewheat Chocolate Chip Banana bread

On today's menu, I made wholewheat chocolate chip banana bread. Clark has been enjoying bananas for months and loves to have a little treat after dinner. I believe that it is just fine to have a little treat after having a substantial  meal.

This recipe was quite easy and took no time to pop in the oven. The ingredients that I used were :

Ingredients! 

 

Measurements: 

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¾ cup sugar

¼ cup canola oil

2 egg whites

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 large)

¼ cup fat-free milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup of chocolate chips

 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 8×4-inch or 9×5-inch loaf pan with shortening, or spray with cooking spray. 

In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon

Next, in large bowl mix sugar, oil, egg whites, bananas, milk and vanilla with spoon until well blended.

Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips.

 Spoon into pan 

Bake 8-inch loaf 55 to 62 minutes, 9-inch loaf 45 to 52 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour, before slicing.

(Because this recipe called for egg whites, I saved the egg yolks and make a simple scrambled egg that Clark and I are enjoying for breakfast! )
