Favourite Banana Bread

I've tried many different banana bread recipes. This one is by far our favourite! I added some dark chocolate this time. I don't normally add it but decided to make it more of a treat for my sweetie! :)
 
Enjoy!

Ingredients

·         3 egg whites

·         3 ripe bananas, mashed

·         1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

·         1/2 cup Sucanat (you'll find this in the organic section. It is free-flowing organic brown sugar)

·         2 cups oat flour (could also use whole wheat flour or spelt flour, but they are slightly higher calorie)

·         1 teaspoon baking soda

·         1/2 teaspoon baking powder

·         1/2 teaspoon sea salt

·         1 teaspoon vanilla extract

·     50 grams of dark chocolate chopped into small chunks (optional). I like to use half of a Just Us Fair Trade dark chocolate bar.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium bowl beat egg whites then add mashed bananas, applesauce & sweetener. Mix thoroughly. In another bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder & salt). Then add the wet mixture to the dry mixture & lightly blend together. Fold in dark chocolate pieces. Pour mixture into a non stick loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry. Let the loaf stand in the pan for 10 minutes, then slice & serve.
