  • 3/4 cup 175 ml all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup 250 ml whole-wheat pastry flour

  • 1/4 cup 60 ml granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup 60 ml packed light brown sugar

  • 1 tsp 5 ml baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp 2 ml baking powder

  • 1 tsp 1 ml salt

  • 1/4 cup 60 ml canola oil

  • 1/4 cup 60 ml nonfat plain yogurt

  • 1 1 large egg

  • 1 1 large egg white

  • 1 tsp 5 ml vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup 375 ml very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed (about 3 large bananas)

  • 1 oz 15 dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa solids), finely chopped
