Inspired!

Today I took a friend shopping to help her find ways to get around a "no wheat for 2 weeks" order! We looked at wheat alternatives and I told her about a few successes I've had in baking wheat-free for some other friends of mine. She posted on her blog about making my Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins and I forgot to give her these two recipes, so now I'M inspired to do some baking myself tomorrow! I'm not sure which of these recipes I'll make, but it will be either:

BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD

¾ c. flour + ¾ c. whole-wheat flour or use 1½ c. of your favorite alternative flour, GF baking mix, or all-purpose flour
1½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
1/3-½ c. sugar
2 egg whites or ¼ c. liquid egg substitute
½ c. fat-free plain or vanilla yogurt
(1 tsp. vanilla if you use plain yogurt!)
2 Tbs. butter, melted
3 large ripe bananas
1/3-½ c. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350º. Coat a bread loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat sugar and egg whites or egg substitute until light and fluffy. Blend in yogurt and butter. Mash bananas with a fork and stir into yogurt mixture. Stir in flour mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven. Cool 10 minutes in the pan on a rack. Remove from the pan and cool completely.
