Whole Wheat Choco-Chip Nutty Banana Bread

Ingredients:

• ½ cup  brown sugar
• ½ cup  unsalted butter
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups ripe bananas (3-4 bananas)
• ¼ cup  honey (you can used sugar or even thick sugar cane juice
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• ½ cups chopped walnuts
• 1/2 Choco-chips
• ¼ almonds

Preheat oven to 170 degrees C. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 inch bread tin( i used 7×5 inch bread tin)

Seive the flour 3 times to incorporate air along with the baking soda. Blend together the butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the mashed bananas, honey and eggs, beating until smooth. Add the flour, almonds, walnuts and choco-chips stir until smooth. Pour batter into the greased pan and let it rest at room temperature, uncovered for 10 minutes.

Bake the bread for 40 minutes. Cover a piece of foil gently across the top and bake until a knife or tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes more.

 Remove the bread from the oven andallow it to cool for 10 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto cooling rack.

   

Tips: Roll the choco-chips in little dry flour before adding to the mixture, this prevents them from sinking to the bottom during baking
If your banana’s are not very ripe either freez them for a night in freezer or just boil them a bit to make them pulpy.
