Banana Bread

I found this lower fat banana bread recipe when I had some bananas going bad that I didn't want to go to waste. It is super easy to whip up and tastes yummo! I do add chocolate chips, which weren't in the original recipe, but a girls gotta have her chocolate, right!!!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 egg whites
1 cup mashed banana
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Add egg whites, bananas and applesauce; stir until combined. Mix in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Turn out onto wire rack and allow to cool before slicing.

Enjoy!
