Moist and Healthy Banana Bread Recipe

A family favorite moist and healthy banana bread recipe

I have so many over ripe bananas in our house and today we decided to make banana bread. This moist and healthy banana bread recipe is an all time family favorite. We added chocolate chips in ours but feel free to substitute with walnuts or cranberries for a healthier option.

Of course, you can’t bake in our house without a mess. I don’t know what I was thinking when I thought it was a good idea for Oliver to join in. Before we even got started, he dumped the entire jar of flour on the floor! Good thing we were using whole wheat flour instead or else I would have had to take an extra trip to the store.

I am not a fan of baking but this recipe is super easy for anyone to follow. I promise it will be a hit in your house too!
