Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 whole large egg
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and the egg. Mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently stir in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top, if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
