Decadent Chocolate Chip Banana Bread with a Nutty Twist
  • Prep Time
    15 mins
  • Cook Time
    1 hr 10 mins
  • Total Time
    1 hrs 15 mins

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup of unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup of whole wheat flour
  • ¼ cup of milled flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon of ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup of butter, softened
  • ½ cup of brown sugar
  • ½ cup of granular sucralose sweetener
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • ½ cup of nonfat plain yogurt
  • 3 medium bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup of walnuts, chopped
  • ½ cup of miniature semisweet chocolate chips (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon of miniature semisweet chocolate chips (Optional)

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and generously grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine a medley of all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, flax seed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, along with a dash of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whip up a delightful blend of butter, brown sugar, and a touch of sucralose sweetener until the mixture turns light and airy. Incorporate eggs, vanilla extract, and a hint of lemon juice into the buttery concoction until thoroughly mixed.

Step 3

Gently fold the flour mixture into the buttery goodness until a smooth batter forms. Introduce yogurt, ripe bananas, 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, and an indulgent 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the mix, stirring until just combined. Transfer this delectable batter into your awaiting loaf pan, and sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of walnuts and chocolate chips on the surface for an extra touch of decadence.

Step 4

Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, typically around 70 minutes. Allow your creation to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Store your decadent chocolate chip banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for maximum freshness.
  2. 2. To keep your nutty twist banana bread moist and delicious, consider wrapping it in a clean tea towel before placing it in the container.
