CHOCOLATE + PEANUT BUTTER + BANANAS + LENTILS??? = AWESOMENESS!



3/4 cup unbleached flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3 oz white sugar
3 oz brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 medium very ripe bananas, mashed or whizzed in food-processor
1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
3/4 cup red lentil puree
2 tablespoons plain fat-free yogurt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons canola oil (I used rice bran oil)
1/3 cup cocoa powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 9X5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray; add a strip of parchment paper to bottom of pan for easy removal.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt in bowl. In another bowl or bowl of mixer, mix bananas, peanut butter, lentil puree yogurt, egg, vanilla, and oil. Fold in flour mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Scrape batter into loaf pan. Bake 40-50 minutes, or until toothpick comes out with few moist crumbs. Cool in pan on wire rack 15 minutes; carefully remove from pan and allow to cool completely on wire rack before slicing.

Yields 16 servings (if you cut each full slice in half)

    A red lentil is a pulse - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lentil

    It's a type of legume, which means it's really high in fibre, and high in protein as well. It's REALLY healthy, and the red variety is the quickest cooking. You can find them with the dried beans in almost any grocery store.
