Coffee and Dessert - Healthy Moist Banana Bread

Always on the lookout for healthy dessert recipes I stumbled upon this one from https://gimmedelicious.com. True to its name, this banana bread is very moist and filled with great flavor. Although I would prefer it with chocolate chips, I made it without for my partner. It is great as a dessert or also as an added item for your Sunday brunch.

1/4 cup milk or Greek yogurt (I used a lemon yogurt)

1-3/4 cups white whole wheat or regular whole wheat flour (or plain all-purpose flour)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or chopped walnuts, raisins, optional)

1. Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil, honey, milk and vanilla for 2 minutes. Stir in the bananas, flour mixture and chocolate chips (or any other add ins of choice).
