Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, eggs, applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef’s Tips

• Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
• You can substitute walnuts with pecans or omit the nuts entirely for a nut-free version.
• Store leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container to keep it moist.
