Double Chocolate Banana Bread

We just had a Relief Society class on using wheat flour in our recipes and they had a sample of this banana bread there for us to try. YUM! YUM! I am not sure whether to put this under the title of Dessert or Bread, it is SO good, it tastes like a dessert but it has wheat flour in it. You can't even tell. I LOVE RECIPES LIKE THIS!

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD

1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups mashed bananas (about 3)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am constantly looking for ways to include wheat in recipes and this recipe is really WONDERFUL. I am not even kidding, it is SO good. I was happy this recipe was shared with me.

WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Step 1-Beat together:
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar

Step 2- Add:
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Step 3 - Mix in:
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, you may want to add another 1/4 cup to get a good cookie consistency.
1 bag miniature chocolate chips.

Scoop with a cookie scoop if you have one and bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
I noticed that the miniature bag of chocolate chips is the key to making the recipe really good. Having the small chocolate throughout the cookie makes it so you don't even taste the wheat.
It is REALLY good.
