I revised a Cooking Light recipe to be a little healthier and it turned out pretty tasty! It tastes delicious with some butter or fig preserves as toppings. It's not as banana-ey as other recipes so you might want to add another super ripe banana to the recipe. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup applesauce |
2 ripe bananas, mashed |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring with a whisk.
3. Place sugar and applesauce in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add banana and eggs; beat until blended. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until moist.
4. Place chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl, and microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until almost melted, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly.
5. Add 1 cup batter to chocolate, stirring until well combined. Spoon chocolate batter alternately with plain batter into an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Swirl batters together using a knife.
6. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
