Banana-Nut-Chocolate Chip Quick Bread

From EatingWell: October/November 2005

This banana quick bread is full of chocolate chips and toasted heart-healthy walnuts so you get a taste of nuts and chocolate in each bite. This version reduces the fat substantially and uses nonfat buttermilk to make the results extremely moist and tender.

READER'S COMMENT:

"What's the glycemic impact of these? The page that linked me to this recipe talks about the damage that simple carbs have on you for breakfast and then I see a recipe that looks like simple carbs. Am I missing something? "

Due to ingredients on hand, I made a gluten free version with 1 1/2 c GF flour, 1c almond flour, almond milk, and coconut oil. I only had one banana on hand so I whipped it in the food processor and it turned out great.

Interesting.....

Haven't tried this recipe yet, but I love how right next to the recipe there is a picture/moving video of an illustrated banana going bad with the caption 5 foods to never eat. Well-timed, or just ironic.....

Pros: Very good

Pleanty sweet enough

If your bananas are ripe enough, I don't think you'll have a problem with sweetness. They should have large brown spots on them and not stand up straight when you take the peel off.
My fiance and I both enjoyed this recipe (without the chocolate) and my sweet tooth is much bigger than his is. This has turned into my go-to recipe for over-ripe bananas.

Pros: moist, fast, yummy

Moist and delicious

I made the full loaf of bread and thought it turned out amazing! It was very moist and everyone loved it. I will definitely be making it again soon (as soon as I have really ripe bananas again).

Pros: moist, easy to make

I thought these muffins were great - they were not overly sweet which is what I prefer in the morning. The cinnamon flavor was interesting for a banana bread but potentially necessary to overcompensate for the little sugar added. You can't even tell they're whole wheat either! Overall: DELICIOUS.

Pros: Moist, not too sweet
