Servings: persons

1 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup fine oat flour
1/3 cup regular rolled oats
2 teaspoons all-natural baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/3 cup chocolate chips, try Dark Chocolate Chips for richer flavor
1/2 cup pure unbleached cane sugar, feel free to try Honey and Molasses
1/3 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2/3 cup kefir, preferably homemade
3 very ripe bananas

1
Combine all dry ingredients together, along with chopped nuts and chocolate chips. Begin preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This recipe is quick to make, so make sure that the oven is almost ready when you begin to add wet ingredients.
2
If you bananas are too ripe to be eaten, great! They will make your bread great. Crush bananas into a creamy mass and begin stirring the mass into dry ingredients. Mix well, so that the consistency of the mixture is quite uniform.
3
Once the oven is ready, add Kefir to the mixture and again stir well to combine. You may need to use a little less or more, depending on the amount of liquid your bananas produce. Baking soda will begin to react with the acid in Kefir right away, so work fast.
4
Transfer the mix into a greased baking pan, a silicone mold, or a non-stick baking pan. For looks toss some rolled oats on top of the bread once it is leveled in the pan.
5
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake on the middle rack for about 50 to 55 minutes. Test it with a toothpick towards the end of cooking. Let it cool, cut and enjoy.
