Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Grease a 9 x 5-inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf pan well with butter.
Pour the chocolate milk and lemon juice into a large measuring cup and stir well. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Stir well.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the softened butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Add the bananas and mix for about 10 seconds.
Take the bowl off the mixer and stir in a third of the dry mixture by hand, just until the ingredients are moistened. Add ½ cup (125 ml) of the chocolate milk and stir by hand for 1 minute. Repeat with another third of the dry mixture and the rest of the milk. Finish with the last third of the dry mixture, add the pecans and chocolate chips, and stir.
Pour the batter into the well-greased loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out dry when poked into the middle! (Mine was so big I had to use a skewer to poke it, hahaha!) Take it out of the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before unmolding and digging in!
