Fresh Milled Spelt Chocolate Banana Bread

So, you want to whip up something delicious with some over ripe bananas? That your family will devour faster than a pack of hungry raccoons at a trash can? This is the recipe. This recipe is not only delicious but also packed with the goodness of fresh milled spelt grain . It is a good source of magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, and iron (important for energy, immunity, and oxygen transport). All of this means you can feel a little less guilty about that third (or was it fourth?) helping. My family did attack this loaf. So think that is a sign to make it!
