Whether served for breakfast or a snack, this lightened up banana bread with a chocolate glaze is sure to please. Wonderfully moist with extra nutrition added and lots of chocolate, it is a recipe you will want to put on repeat.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly coat a 9 X 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat at medium speed until well blended.
Add banana, milk, sour cream, and egg whites. Mix until blended.
In a medium bowl whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, flaxseed, baking soda, and salt.
Add flour mixture and vanilla extract to banana mixture, beating just until blended.
Spoon batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55 minutes, or until the top feels firm when pressed on. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
For glaze, place chocolate and shortening in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until melted and smooth. Drizzle over bread.
