Description
My favorite banana bread, passed down from my Mom. Ground flax replaces some of the flour for extra fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids without sacrificing any of the banana bread goodness and sour cream makes it extra moist! And of course, chocolate chips.

- 2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup ground flax
