- 3 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a 8 1/2 X 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with oil. (You can place a piece of parchment paper about 8 1/2 x 9 inches inside the pan so it’s easy to remove).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine bananas, oil, egg whites, sugar and vanillas. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt until combined. Fold in the banana mixture and chocolate chips.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake about 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean.
Remove from the loaf pan and let it cool 15 minutes before cutting. Slice in 10 slices.

Review - Who’s That Girl
AUTHOR: Thea Glassman
NARRATORS: Nelson Franklin and Yael Rizowy
RATING: ★★★★
Summary (from Goodreads): Since its finale, New Girl has quietly become one of the most rewatched shows in streaming history—a certified comfort classic. Taking the well-worn hangout sitcom formula and giving it a weird, wonderful twist, the series landed in that rare space between Friends-style warmth and sheer comedic chaos. Sitcom conventions were bent (if not broken), as the cast and writers shaped characters in real time—from Nick Miller’s legendary “turtle face” and Winston’s codependent relationship with his cat, to Schmidt’s endless barrage of absurd, quotable one-liners.
More than just a sitcom, New Girl became a generational touchstone, embedding itself in pop culture and personal routines alike. Fans still yell “No notes!” at friends, argue over the rules of True American, and nod to the Douchebag Jar as a model of self-regulation. It’s the show that made “adorkable” a household word, gave Prince and Taylor Swift two of TV’s greatest cameos, and delivered some of the most beloved moments in modern comedy—like the slow-burn brilliance of Nick and Jess’s kiss, the utter chaos of Prank Sinatra, or Schmidt’s passionate monologue about “chut-a-ney.”
In Who’s That Girl, entertainment journalist Thea Glassman takes readers behind the scenes with in-depth interviews with creator Liz Meriwether and the creative team, telling the story of how a scrappy, offbeat pilot evolved into a streaming juggernaut. Packed with heart, hilarity, and never-before-heard stories, this is the definitive tribute to the ultimate feel-good show.
REVIEW: Anyone who is a fan of New Girl will adore this book, with all of its insider secrets and behind-the-scenes tidbits. Like most people, I shipped Nick and Jess throughout the whole series and was highly invested in their relationship, so learning more about certain scenes, like their hallway kiss (WOWZA!) was a lot of fun. It was also a treat listening to Nelson Franklin, who played Robby on the show, do part of the narrating. If you’re a fan of the series, then I highly recommend Who’s That Girl. You’ll love it.
