Healthy Whole Grain Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

This is such a treat!  You can't even tell it's good for you!


1 3/4 cups whole grain flour mix (spelt, brown rice, barley) 
1/2 cup organic sugar, xylitol or agave
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon groung nutmeg
3 large ripe bananas mashed (measuring 1 1/2 cups total)
1/4 cup organic canola oil or applesauce if you want to keep the fat content down
2 large eggs
1/4 cup plain lowfat yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 - 1 cup chocolate chips

Heat oven to 325`.  Lightly coat a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pan with vegetable spray.  Whisk all dry ingredients together in a large bowl.  In a separate bowl mix all other ingredients.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry.  Don't over mix and fold in the chocolate chips at the end.   

Bake for 55-65 minutes, until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
