Tastes like dessert, but good enough for a healthy breakfast. Plus, it has chocolate... What more could you ask for?
Ingredients
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (I like white whole wheat)
  • ¼ cup ground flax seed (a mini coffee grinder works well to grind seed yourself)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup high quality dark chocolate chips (read the ingredients to make sure you are not getting a lot of gross stuff you don't want)
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 6 Tbs butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbs molasses
  • 1½ cups mashed, ripe bananas (about 3)
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • ⅔ cup plain full-fat yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. Stir dry ingredients, chocolate chips and walnuts together in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just mixed. Do not over-mix.
  5. Pour into a greased bread pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.
  6. Cool on rack and slice to serve.
  7. Eat with wild abandon.
