Easy chocolate chip banana bread recipe -- ingredients
- 2 packets of plain instant oatmeal
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of granulated Splenda
- 3/4 cup of ground flaxseed (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of non-fat milk
- 6oz. of milk chocolate chocolate chips (about half a bag)
Easy chocolate chip banana bread recipe -- directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and grease or spray an 8-inch loaf pan (for thicker bread) or a round pan (for a thinner bread.) Combine the oatmeal, flour, flaxseed (if desired), Splenda, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl. Stir thoroughly, then mix in your half-bag of chocolate chips.
Set that bowl aside, and in a smaller bowl, mash the bananas, egg, and milk. Add the banana mixture slowly to the larger bowl, mixing as you go. Pour the mixture into your greased pan.
Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, or until you pass the toothpick test. Serves 5 chocoholics or 8 regular people.
