Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 whole 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 ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup chocolate chips (sugar-free)
- 0.5 cup walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add in the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract, and whisk together until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your sugar-free chocolate chip banana bread!
