Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, flax seed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. In a separate larger bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and sucralose sweetener until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, add the eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice to the butter mixture and beat until everything is well combined.

Step 2
Next, gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the batter is smooth. Fold in the yogurt, mashed bananas, half of the walnuts, and half of the chocolate chips, mixing just until everything is incorporated. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining walnuts and chocolate chips on top.

Step 3
Pop the loaf into the oven and bake for about 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
