(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • Baking spray
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temp
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 overripe medium bananas, mashed
  • 2 tbsp. unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Lightly coat an 8×4-inch loaf pan with baking spray. Preheat oven to 350.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.

  3. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar. Add the bananas, applesauce, egg whites and vanilla and beat on medium speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

  4. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until the chips are melted. Add dollops of the melted chocolate to the top of the batter. Using a butter knife, swirl the chocolate into the batter. Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 50 minutes. Cut into 12 slices to serve.
