This super-healthy Super Seed Chocolate Whole Wheat Banana Bread is a lighter version of conventional banana bread. The topping of seeds provides crunch and nuttiness and chocolate adds a luscious flavor. It's almost guilt-free because it's prepared with bananas, whole wheat flour, olive oil, and crunchy seeds, at least until you finish the entire loaf of Healthy Banana Bread!
