Whole Wheat Banana Cake

By sunshinemom

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups King Arthur white whole wheat flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup mashed bananas (about 3)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup butter, melted (Smart Balance stick)
• 1/4 cup milk (skim is fine)
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

*Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
*I use my KitchenAid with the whisk attachment to mash the three bananas.
*In a separate large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix together.
*Back in the KitchenAid...switch to the paddle attachment and add the egg, melted butter (make sure it has cooled so that you don't cook the egg), and the milk.
*Mix a little, but not completely and then add the rest of the dry. As always, be careful not to overmix.
*Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
*Spread the batter into your greased pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
