I adapted this from a vegan muffin recipe to create a healthful snack my always-hungry teenagers can enjoy on the go. -Toni Goodman, Lake Oswego, OR Ingredients:
2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 4) |
1 cup vanilla fat-free yogurt |
1/2 cup reduced-fat vanilla soy milk |
1/4 cup canola oil |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 cups whole wheat pastry flour (about 20 1/2 ounces) |
1 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. 2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth. 3. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl. Add banana mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts until well combined. Divide mixture evenly between 2 (9 x 5-inch) loaf pans coated with cooking spray. 4. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely. |
