How to make Healthy Marbled Chocolate Banana Bread

This recipe is super simple to make. Simply mix your ingredients together as described below.

  1. Mash your banana in a medium bowl. Next, add in the remaining wet ingredients and mix them together.
  2. Add in the dry ingredients (except for the cocoa powder and chocolate chips!) and mix until just combined.
  3. Scoop out half the batter into a separate medium bowl. Mix in the cocoa powder and fold in the chocolate chips. *Feel free to add some chocolate chips to the regular batter as well.
  4. Alternate scooping in the regular and chocolate batter into a parchment-lined loaf pan. Using the sharp end of a knife, make some swirls to get a nice marbled look. Be sure not to go too crazy with this step or the pattern will completely mix together.
  5. Lastly, top with some extra chocolate chips and bake in a 350F preheated oven for 50 minutes.

Cook Time 50 minutes mins
Course Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Servings 8 slices

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large browned bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup 100% maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, 0%
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, spooned and levelled
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a loaf pan with cooking oil and line with parchment paper (so the parchment stays in place!)

  • To the same bowl add in the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix until just combined.
  • Scoop out half the batter and add it to a separate bowl then add the cocoa powder. Mix well then fold in the chocolate chips.
  • To the loaf pan, alternate scooping in the chocolate and regular batter, layering opposites on top of each other. With a knife, make some slices through the batter to get the marbled look. Ensure you don't mix too much with the knife or the batter will completely mix together.
  • Bake for 50 minutes until the top is golden and slightly hardened. Allow the banana bread to set in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and place on a wire cooling rack.
  • Once cooled, slice into 8 slices. Enjoy!

New! Viral Shaved Fruit Ice I am late to the game New! Viral Shaved Fruit Ice

I am late to the game but needed to try this trending shaved fruit ice idea by @littlefatboyfrankie

It is super refreshing and a fun way to use up seasonal fruit you may have laying around (hello peach season!). 

This is my take on this delicious idea, rainbow sherbet using clementines, kiwi and strawberries. Follow me @thedietitianfeed for more delicious recipes! 

Ingredients:
* 1 clementine, peeled 
* 1 large strawberry
* 1 kiwi, peeled
* Optional: whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, finely chopped nuts

Method:
1. Freeze the fruit, or fruit of choice overnight or until frozen solid, about 8 hours. 
2. Option to place your serving bowl in the freezer or fridge to chill before serving, as the shaved ice starts to melt quickly. 
3. Using a microplane, grate your frozen fruit into the chilled bowl. 
4. Top with whipped cream, or toppings of choice like the sweetened condensed milk, chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios. 
5. Enjoy immediately!

Honey Dijon Salmon @thedietitianfeed Sheet pan me Honey Dijon Salmon @thedietitianfeed

Sheet pan meals are always a go to during busy weeks. This one does not disappoint!
Like and save this post to make later and follow me @thedietitianfeed for more delicious, healthy recipes!

Ingredients:
Maple Dijon Sauce:
*  ¼ cup dijon mustard
*  2 tbsp maple syrup
*  1 tbsp lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar
*  1 clove garlic, minced
*  1 tbsp olive oil
*  Freshly cracked black pepper
*  Pinch salt
Other:
*  1 large head broccoli, cut into bite size pieces (including most of the stems)
*  1 lb mini round potatoes, sliced in half
*  2 salmon filets (or 1 large piece of salmon)

Method:
1.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.  Stir together the ingredients for the maple dijon sauce. Place the chopped potatoes in a mixing bowl and add about 2 tbsp of the sauce to the bowl, mix well.
3. Place the potatoes on the lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. While that cooks, add the broccoli to the same mixing bowl and add about 2 tbsp of sauce to the broccoli, mix well and set aside. I like using the stems of the broccoli as well by peeling the tougher outer layer, then roughly dicing the stem. 
4. Use the remaining sauce to marinate the salmon. Place the salmon and sauce in a shallow bowl and allow to marinate until the potatoes are finished baking. Once the potatoes have baked, add the broccoli and salmon to the same sheet and bake for another 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky. Serve while hot. Enjoy!
