Due to the winter weather we just survived a shaking off our hibernation is in order. I’ve got a healthy, sweet snack in mind, my Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.
Sweater shedding weather is just around the corner and you’ll want a low-fat, low-sugar breakfast or snack on the run. I like to feel as if I can indulge, a bit, in a baked good without going overboard.
This recipe has about half the fat and calories as a traditional, buttery and sugary banana bread. Use semi-sweet chocolate chips for a non-vegan version. For a fat-free banana bread, skip the chocolate chips and walnuts. I’d suggest keeping the chips and nuts!
