….you make BANANA BREAD!  When I was at my clients house yesterday they had 5 bananas that were screaming to become banana bread. So I brought them home and will deliver a beautiful banana bread to them on Wednesday when I go back. I used a “low-fat” recipe from a canyon ranch cookbook, but made a few alterations…adding chocolate was one of them!

Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

1/3 cup canola oil

3/4 cup cane sugar

1 large egg

3/4 cup mashed banana

2 tablespoons applesauce

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly coat a loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. Combine canola oil and cane sugar in a medium bowl. Mix until cane sugar begins to dissolve.  Add egg and beat for about 20 seconds. Add bananas and applesauce and mix just until combined.
3. Sift together dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add to creamed mixture and mix until just combined. Pour into pan and bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly and remove from pan. Cool completely and cut.
