Servings: persons

1-1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
3/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1 cup Mashed Ripe Banana (for 1 Cup You'll Need About 2-3 Bananas)
1/3 cups Honey
1/3 cups Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2-1/2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
1 Egg White
2/3 cups Chocolate Chips

1
Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease an 8x4 or 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed banana, honey, Greek yogurt, olive oil, almond milk and vanilla and beat on low until smooth in consistency. Add in the egg and egg white and beat again until well combined, about 1 minute. Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and mix until moist. It's important to not over mix! Next gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
4
Spoon all of the batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake at 325 F for 45-60 minutes or until a tester inserted into middle of the bread comes out clean. The length of time will vary based on which loaf pan you use, so I suggest checking the bread at 45 minutes. Also, don't fear the golden crust! The bread may look done on the outside, but the inside is what's important. You don't want a gooey bread.
5
Once a tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, remove pan from oven. Cool bread for 10 minutes in the pan set on a wire rack. Then remove bread from pan gently and cool completely on wire rack. Cut into 12 slices and enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
