Easy and delicious, this Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Banana Bread is made with Greek yogurt, oil and less sugar than traditional banana bread recipes. Perfect for busy school mornings, as a back to school treat or just because – chocolate banana bread is always a good idea!

So the only thing better (or equal?) to chocolate chips and banana is chocolate, chocolate chips and banana.

This recipe is for those times simple chocolate chips are just not enough!

    I made this recipe last weekend, used buttermilk instead of yoghurt since that is available in my fridge. Also added some chopped almonds and walnuts, it was perfect! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
