I'm a little bit obsessed with making banana bread...and making it as healthy as possible. This morning I had an idea that was inspired by one of my very best friends who puts chocolate chips in her banana bread....so instead of chocolate chips, I just added 2 tsp of cocoa to the batter. Turns out it's not a world changing improvement, but I kind of like it.
So, here's what I did...
Instead of oil or butter, I used vanilla yogurt.
Cut the sugar from 1 cup to 1/2 cup and used brown instead of white
Used whole wheat flour instead of white
Added about 1/2 of wheat germ (I have no idea why/if this is healthy....I just know it's in my fridge and I use it in my granola recipe)
Added an extra banana
Here's the end result!
It looks nutty, almost... like a banana nut bread... except no nuts. Looks yum. What did other voters think?
