Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

We have always loved banana chocolate chip bread in our family, but the recipe I have always used isn't exactly healthy. I was happy to stumble upon a new version which is also pretty healthy! Sam and I whipped it up and enjoyed a piece or two together.

Here is the recipe:

1 1/2 cups unbleached or all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 cup sugar

2 egg whites (I just used eggs)

1/2 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt

2 Tablespoons butter, melted

3 large ripe bananas

1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate morsels

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8x4 loaf pan with nonstick spray.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat sugar and egg whites until light and fluffy. Blend in yogurt and butter. Mash bananas with a fork and stir into yogurt mixture. Stir in flour mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan.

Bake 50-55 minutes, or til a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven. Cool 10 mintues in the pan on a rack. Remove from the pan and cool completely.

You should smell this stuff baking! Oh, my, delish! The taste is amazing; I was totally surprised at how moist it was.
