Whole Wheat Chocolate Chips Banana Bread

Serves: 1 loaf

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Description:
I have made this recipe many times, I normally make two or three loaves. One with chocolate chips and one without for Lily-Anne. I reduce the sugar in half. I have also made this recipe into muffins. When I do that, I make double chocolate muffins and add 3 tbsp of coco powder to the recipe, remove the cinnamon and add 1 tsp of vanilla and cook for 20-25 minutes.

 * 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
