Secretly Healthy Chocolate Banana Bread

This low calorie, low sugar, low fat, chocolate banana bread is so rich and chocolatey, you won't believe it's a healthy snack or breakfast!



I know, it looks like a one million calorie, dark, rich, fudgey, brownie-ish, delight. Guess what? Tastes like it too. But no, this guy is the most innocent loaf of banana bread in the world right here. No butter or oil, very little add sugar, and loaded with fruit!

Samuel tasted it and nodded approval.

"It's healthy," I said.

"No, it's not."

"Yes, yes. It is."

"Isn't there sugar in it?"



"There's hardly any. It's mostly sweetened from the bananas."

"Ok, what about oil and butter?"

"None."

"Cocoa is unhealthy."

"Nope. It's not."

"Wow, unbelievable," he muttered, as he he proceeded to consume the remaining loaf in one bite.




Ok, so the chocolate chips aren't healthy. Sue me. A pregnant lady's got to have her chocolate chips.

Anyway, I stupidly forgot to write down what I was doing as I made this recipe. I knew I had pretty much just used this muffin recipe I made in 2013, but I wasn't sure if I had doubled it or how long I baked it. I was sitting here all ready to post this this morning and finally I said, "I don't know! I don't know what I did! I'll just have to make it again!" so I stomped into the kitchen and whipped up another batch in a few moments and made sure I was paying attention to what I was doing this time.

  2. These are delicious! I made them into muffins instead of the loaf. I used 5 very large bananas, cane sugar for the sweetener, semi-sweet chocolate chips & half of them I topped with a few peanut butter chips. Even my 11 & 4 year old loved them! Made almost 20 muffins. Def recommend!

  3. Made this in an 8x8 to make it cook a little faster, and it worked great! Same 350 but for about 50 minutes.
