- 50 grams brown sugar
- 125 ml unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- 190 grams whole wheat flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and egg whites to the mashed bananas and whisk together until combined and smooth.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or large spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Step 6
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the chocolate banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve once fully cooled, storing any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
