Ingredients
- 5 cups banana bananas ripe puree OR s ) 6 small
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup yogurt whisked
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon ground
- 1.5 tsps baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsps chocolate or Nesquick or chocolate drinking malted drink mix
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Grease and line the loaf tin.
- Preheat the oven at 180xb0C.
- In a blender or mixer, blend the bananas, oil, milk, egg, yogurt, vanilla extract and sugar to a fine puree.
- Scrape it out into a large bowl.
- Sieve all the dry ingredients into this bowl (all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, drinking chocolate).
- Gently mix in the vinegar and chocolate chips until well incorporated and scrape this batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
- Cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Unmold the loaf and cool for further 15 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife.
Notes
To make this egg-free, you can try replacing the egg with one flax egg - 1 tbsp flaxseed meal with 3 tbsp hot water, whisk till frothy and incorporate into batter, instead of egg.
To serve, warm each slice for 15 seconds in the microwave, it will make the chocochips a little melty and more fun to eat!
