Hi! I’m so happy that you all enjoyed my post about my road to recovery! Thank you for the supportive comments and tweets. I really appreciate it!
I’m getting into this early morning groove! I hope though that eventually 5 am becomes my workout time (5-5:30) and then I can get work done during naps 1 & 2 instead of using this time to do work. That’s the plan…but we all know what they say about those.
The weekends have been spent relaxing, straightening up my disaster of a house and having visitors. We are so lucky with all of the family and friends that want to visit Liv…and bring amazing presents. If anyone thought I was spoiled as a kid (okay, still…) then Liv takes it to a whole new level. We will be having lots of lessons in her life to teach her how to be grateful/thankful/appreciative AND giving.
With all the company we’ve been having, I finally decided to get on the ball and have something on the table when people get here. (Okay, it was just getting in the oven when my cousins got here on Saturday…but it made it out in time!) I wanted to make something super easy that was semi-healthy, tasty, chocolately AND fed a bunch of people.
Enter…Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Banana Loaf….what a name, right? I wish I had a picture, but I don’t. It was delicious and loved by everyone…except my sister who despises (the very subtle taste) of banana!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Then add the wet ingredients, applesauce, eggs and banana. Mix well to combine. Add baking soda and mix again. Lastly fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan. (I used an 8×4 loaf pan.) Bake for 55-60 minutes and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
I promise this will be a hit with any company you may have….or just with you!
Let me know if you try it!
Have a great day!

Recipe looks delicious! I see you cut back the sugar & banana from the original. I usually cut sugar in recipes so I won’t this time but I may add back a banana to take out some of the chocolate chips. I can’t wait to try!
This sounds so yummy. Sophia loves making banana bread with me: she is an expert banana masher! Someday you’ll be baking with Olivia! It’s messy but so fun!
