Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread

I subscribe to this neat magazine called Clean Eating.  This months magazine had a great article about flaxseeds/ flaxseed oil.  Along with it was a recipe for this banana bread.  I happened to have all the ingredients except the flax seed oil.  So I decided to go get some and give it a try.  This bread was delicious, it was not very sweet with a nutty flavor and hearty texture.
Any recipe that does not include butter, sugar and white flour and still tastes good is always a good find for me.

Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
pinch of salt
3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 cup raw honey
1/4 cup flaxseed oil
1/2 cup Ghirardelli 60% Cacao chocolate chips

2. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, flaxseed and salt

    mix in applesauce, honey and flaxseed oil.
