Make a basic loaf of banana bread even more special with the addition of chocolate chips, chopped walnuts and flaxseed.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana

1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt

5 tablespoons butter, melted

2 large eggs

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

6.75 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups)

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

2/3 cup semisweet chocolate minichips, divided

1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted and divided

cooking spray

2 tablespoons fat-free milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until blended. Add sugars; beat until blended.
3. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through allspice) in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add flour mixture to banana mixture; beat just until blended.
4. Fold 1/3 cup minichips and nuts into batter; pour batter into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray.

Combine remaining 1/3 cup minichips and milk in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH for 30 seconds, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over bread.
