Low-Fat Double Chocolate Banana Bread

WW Recipe of the Day: Low-Fat Double Chocolate Banana Bread

As soon as I saw Elise's Chocolate Banana Bread on Simply Recipes a couple weeks ago, I knew I wanted to make one of my very own.

Low-Fat Double Chocolate Banana Bread

So, I adapted my favorite low-fat banana bread using her recipe as a guide.

Skinny on Low Fat Chocolate Banana Bread

The results were as good as I'd hoped. A moist, dense, low-fat chocolate banana bread, infused with cocoa, speckled with melty miniature chocolate chips, with a gentle hint of allspice.

Making Chocolate Banana Bread

This is sweet enough to be considered dessert in my book.

I think it would be wonderful warmed slightly and topped with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Be sure to use very ripe bananas, covered in brown spots, for the best results.
