Branana Bread

Holy fiber, Batman!

Ingredients:

- 1 1/2 cups flour (can substitute 1/4c whole wheat flour, I've also used all purpose gf artisan bread flour with 1/4 c as oat flour)
- 1/3 cup wheat bran
- 2/3 cup sugar (I prefer a mixture of brown sugar, maple syrup and lankanto monk fruit)
- 2 T ground flaxseed (original said 1/4 C which was too dense)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt and/or sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 4-5 tablespoons butter, melted (canola oil and applesauce are other possibilities)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients.

In a blender, liquefy the next 5 ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; stir until just moistened.

Fold in nuts and chocolate chips.

Spoon batter into a greased 9x5" loaf pan or 8 mini loaf pans. Bake at 350F for 50 minutes (20-25 minutes for mini loaf pans), or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing pan to wire rack.
