I have fallen in love with the magazine Clean Eating. In the recent July edition I found a delicious sounding recipe for a healthier version of banana bread. Today I decided to try it out with Noah. Enjoy!
Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread

Ingredients
1 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 TBSP cinnamon
1 TBSP ground Flaxseed

1/2 cup raw honey
1/4 cup flaxseed oil
1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
Step One: Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground flaxseed and salt.

Step Three: Mix dray ingredients into banana mixture; stir in chocolate.
