WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD by NancyC
Makes one 9×5″ loaf

1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
3/4 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 2 small)
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
1/4 cup light olive oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease and flour a 9 × 5″ loaf pan; set aside.

In large bowl, blend the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.

In medium bowl, blend eggs and brown sugar together until smooth. Add in the honey, mashed bananas, buttermilk, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the flour mixture in the large bowl and stir just until all ingredients are combined. Fold the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter, stirring until they’re evenly distributed, then spoon batter into prepared loaf pan.

Bake at 375˚F for 42 to 44 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or almost clean (if you overbake, the bread will be too dry). Let bread cool in pan for about 5 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
