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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Step 3
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and the egg. Mix until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Gently stir in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top, if using.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
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.
