Chocolate Flaxseed Banana Bread

I haven't been baking much these days. It is a bit difficult at the moment because I'm in a transition of moving aboard. So, I have been starting to use up all stuff I have in my pantry. For my baking supplies, I pretty much have 2 cups of flour, less than a cup of sugar, a little bit of chocolate chips, a little bit of flaxseed, and some of margarine in the fridge. After searching for an easy, simple, low-budget recipe, I decided to make good old classic banana bread. I have been making banana breads so many times. However, I haven't found a recipe that makes me please with the final texture of the quick bread. When I discovered "jacked-up banana bread" recipe from Deb of Smitten Kitchen, I decided to give it a try, even dressed it up with a little bit of chocolate chips and some flaxseed that I have.

Final result was great! Thank you, Deb! The texture was great, soft and moist.  The sweetness was perfect for me. It's great for breakfast and any time snacks.

A new beginning with a touch of sweet

Welcome to whisk the pantry!

I never thought that one day I would have my own food blog. For the past 4-5 years, I have been enjoying looking at great food blogs out there. Many of them inspire me to bake, cook, and photography more. Since school is officially over, it's the best time to do what I love to do! So, here I am...writting my first post!

My love for baking and cooking started because of my mom, I believe. She loves to watch cooking shows and loves to bring delicious cakes back home to share with me. I think this is how it all started. I want this blog to document my culinary journal. There are so many of recipes out there that I want to try. Having this blog, it will give me a chance to bake, cook and photograph more, and moreover it gives me a chance to develop new skill both baking/cooking and photographing.

I have been thinking for awhile about what I should make for my first post. I want to start this exciting journey with a touch of sweet. So, I'm presenting you Chocolate Spice Bread. I got this recipe from The Modern Baker cookbook. It is a quick recipe that you can make when you are craving for chocolate! It just gives you a right amount of chocolate flavour that makes you satisfy.
