Banana Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Bread

I love different kinds of warm breads in the fall. This bread turned out really moist and scrumptuous. Enjoy~
1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups mashed very ripe bananas
2/3 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon


1-2 cups chocolate chips

Powdered sugar, for dusting


Beat oil and sugar together. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating slowly until incorporated. Add in vanilla, bananas and yogurt. Mix until well blended.Sift together flour, soda, cinnamon and salt. Add into wet ingredients, mixing ONLY until barely combined. Add in chocolate chips, mix a few times until distributed. Over-mixing will make bread dry, so try to mix as little as possible once the flour is in.Pour into two 8x4 inch loaf pans or one 9x5 inch pan. Sprinkle a generous amount of sugar on top. Bake at 350 F for about an hour, or 1 hr. 15 min. for 1 big loaf. Be sure to check center with a knife.
