Healthier Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

I've made my traditional banana bread recipe many, many times, and usually keep it pretty much the same. However, I decided it's time to try to make some of my baking a little healthier. So, rather than make the chocolate chip banana bread I usually make, I made a few modifications: Whole wheat flour instead off all-purpose flour, and extra banana & a little applesauce to replace the butter (this might sound weird if you've never heard of it, but in baking applesauce is a common health substitute for butter). Now, to really make it "healthy," the chocolate chips should probably be omitted, but I'm all about balance, and of course, all about chocolate. It tasted DELICIOUS-- even more moist than the original, and wonderful texture. I think I will make it this way from now on! perfect.

Hope you're hungry!

Hey there!
I hope you're ready to see some yummmmmy goodies!
I'm going to start with a bunch of treats right in a row now to get you all caught up with my baking life! After that, I'll keep you updated as I bake!

So, let's start with chocolate chip banana bread. This is a moist, delicious quick bread that can be served for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack! Personally, I like it toasted with peanut butter!


And of course, the chocolate chips can be omitted, making a wonderful regular banana bread!
