Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cup Sugar-free chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the unsweetened almond milk until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and, if desired, the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as a delicious, sugar-free treat!
