Buckwheat Chocolate
Banana Bread




I have a few friends who are gluten-free. After receiving a selection of gluten-free flours from Pereg Naturals, I did some experimenting to make some delicious products for them.



This Buckwheat Chocolate Banna Bread was one of my best creations. It's moist and delicious, but, with buckwheat and a low sugar count, healthier than most banana breads. (With no offense to my delicious Crockpot Banana Bread. )

INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup butter or oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large, overripe, bananas, mashed
1 cup Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup sugar
1-1/4 cups Pereg Naturals Buckwheat Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
Sprinkle of salt
Additional Chocolate chips and/or walnuts for topping, if desired
