Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe

Moist warm banana bread with chocolate chips is all I need. I used to hate all things banana, but this recipe has turned that around. The secret is the addition of semisweet chocolate chips and a tiny pinch of cinnamon. If you have a few ripe bananas lying around, do not toss them out, instead use them for this delectable recipe. Now that I’ve told you my secret, let’s get into the details of this delicious dessert bread.

Vegan Banana Bread

If I could go back in time and tell younger me that adult me loves banana bread, I wouldn’t believe it! But this has made me a believer. What I love about this delicious easy banana bread recipe is that it easily becomes a vegan banana bread recipe. To make this a vegan recipe, simple swap each egg for 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. We can use this vegan substitute throughout baking. It does not drastically change the texture of the baked goods.

However, you do not want to use over 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce or the texture gets a little wacky. Lastly, when I substitute the applesauce for eggs, it makes the texture more soft and the bread more moist. This may mean that you have to bake the bread for just a few minutes longer. Use the toothpick test to keep a watchful eye on the doneness. You don’t want to over cook it.
