Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

Christina
It's safe to say this is my very favorite recipe. Incredibly moist and jam-packed with chocolate chips. Nothing better!
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups mashed ripe bananas 4 large bananas
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 and ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 and ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside. In a small bowl, peel the bananas and mash them with a fork. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the applesauce and sugars. Whisk together until no lumps in the sugars remain. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon. Do not over mix. The batter will be thick. Fold in the bananas, then the chocolate chips and walnuts just until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-65 minutes. About half way through place foil loosely on top to prevent the top of the bread from getting to dark. The bread is done when you insert a toothpick into the center and it comes out clean, with a few slight moist crumbs. Depending on your oven, start checking at the 55 minute mark.
  • Let the bread cool on a wire rack for an hour before slicing. Bread stays fresh in air tight container at room temperature or in refrigerator for up to 7 days.
