The Best Banana Bread

Farrah Morgan

Report

The Best Banana Bread is moist and full of flavor. This is not your ordinary Banana Bread and is topped with chocolate chips. The key to moist banana bread is to add crushed pineapple and applesauce. You'll love this, I promise.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray 3 medium bread pans ( I like to use Reynold's disposable foil pans - size 8"x3 3/4") with Baker's Joy or cooking spray.
Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the bananas, eggs, crushed pineapple, applesauce, and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Pour into bread pans and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the batter (remember you don't have to use all of them). Bake at 325 for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Do not overbake!
