Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

This is one of our favorite breads here in the farmhouse. It’s whole wheat and contains no refined sugar, so it’s a win-win in my book! Pair this with scrambled eggs and fresh fruit, and you have a wholesome and satisfying breakfast. (I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of chocolate in the morning?) Or, enjoy it on it’s own with a big cup of coffee and you’ll have what I call a “mom treat!” Moment of confession…I always keep some kind of pastry on hand and enjoy a small (or okay, sometimes huge if it’s been a particularly challenging day) portion with a hot cup of coffee each night after the Farmer Boy has gone to bed. It’s my sweet spot after a long day! Another thing I love about making this bread is that, it’s a one bowl recipe which means it can be thrown together really quickly and only one dish gets messy. Another win-win! I hope you and your family will enjoy this yummy treat as much as we do.
