chocolate banana bread
(1 rating)
Comfort food that blends two favorite flavors - chocolate and banana. Adapted from the Chicago Tribune with a few tweaks. You can substitute apple sauce for all or half of the oil to cut calories and fat. Make it dessert by serving with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or as a base for strawberries!
