Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas Use overripe bananas for more sweetness.

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation

  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the sugar, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then gently fold in the flour. Be careful not to overmix!
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips until they’re evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
