Yet another take on traditional banana
bread, "Chocolate Chip Banana Bread" (page 402) takes this dessert
bread to new heights. With the addition of chocolate chips, it is downright
decadent! A simple quick-bread, there is
really nothing tricky about this recipe and you can have it mixed up and ready
to bake in the time it takes to preheat the oven. With 3 bananas in the batter,
you shouldn't have any problem substituting the canola oil with apple sauce, as
I did (I used a scant ½ cup), which turns out to be a good choice, as this
recipe also calls for apple juice as part of the liquid ingredients. Chopped
walnuts are stirred into the batter with the chocolate chips for additional
flavor and chew. The recipe notes say the leftovers make good French toast, but
so far I haven't tried this.
"Keeping it McDougall Friendly"
checklist:
ü Substitute the all-purpose (white) flour
with whole wheat pastry flour.
ü Substitute the canola oil with a scant ½ cup
of apple sauce.
ü Use a non-stick loaf pan that does not
need to be oiled, such as one made of silicone.
