Use really ripe bananas - the kind you've left on the counter until they're black - in this recipe for the most flavour.

Ingredients

2 cups (500 mL) mashed banana (about 5)

1/2 cup (125 mL) soy milk or skim milk

1/2 cup (125 mL) canola oil

2 tsp (10 mL) lemon juice

2 eggs (preferably omega-3 eggs)

2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla

1-1/3 cups (325 mL) whole wheat flour

1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour

1-1/4 cups (300 mL) granulated sugar

1/4 cup (50 mL) unsweetened cocoa powder

1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) baking powder

1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) baking soda

1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon

1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

1/2 cup (125 mL) mini chocolate chips

Icing sugar (optional)

Preparation

Line 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) pan with parchment paper.

In large bowl, blend together bananas, milk, oil, lemon juice, eggs and vanilla. Stir in whole wheat and all-purpose flours, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
