3 large extra-ripe bananas (the browner, the better)
1/3 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup dark chocolate chunks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 9 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl whisk the applesauce, sugar and eggs together until frothy and a little lighter in color.
Step 4
Thoroughly mash 2 of the bananas in a small bowl then stir in the yogurt. Add to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
Step 5
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until halfway mixed. Fold in the chocolate chunks until the flour is just mixed in. Pour the batter into the loaf pan.
Step 6
Slice the remaining banana in half lengthwise and place on top of the loaf, gently pressing down so it’s nestled in the batter.
Step 7
Bake for 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack for 10 minutes before removing from the loaf pan. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
