PCOS Friendly Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

We always have bananas in our house. My children loves them and my husband has 1 every morning with his bacon and eggs. I’m ALWAYS buying bananas and this weekend I somehow landed up with more than we needed. I woke up with 4 bananas that looked a little bruised and speckled and they were never going to be eaten. Now, as I hate waiting food, banana bread was the perfect solution. Yum!

 

So, with my 18month old son on hand to scavenge whatever he could help me, I whipped up this delicious banana bread from Bakerita. It has a low Glycemic load and good fats as well as protein. It is a little high in calories so you don’t want to eat the whole loaf in one sitting but I have to say that it really is delicious!
