I was visiting Nashville last week and while trying to get a feel for the area flipped through a local magazine that was doing a lot of advertising for different products. One was specifically for mini loaf pans. Of course being an avid baker I already owned a nice non-stick four mini loaf pan.
The accompanying recipe was for mini chocolate chip banana breads designed to make as gifts. It was a pretty straight forward recipe which I knew I could jazz up and also make deliciously gluten free. The changes I make were to reduce the amount of chocolate chips and sugar, and add some flax seeds and sunflower seeds for a texture, and omega-3 and fiber for a nutritional boost.
The result was amazing! I didn't notice the reduced sugar and I thought the chocolate chips were just enough. The crunch form the flax and sunflower seeds complimented the sweet flavor of the bread without giving you the sense you were eating a "healthy loaf". Sure to become a favorite.
