Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Submitted by Hollyism

"My family loves really moist banana bread...and, of course, chocolate! So this bread is the perfect combo of both! This is a slightly modified version of the Banana Bread recipe in the Better Homes & Gardens New Cookbook. We can rarely wait until it's cooled completely!"

My boyfriend raved about this banana bread when I baked it for him. I made a few changes. I used 1/3 cup of white sugar and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. I substituted 1 tblsp of butter and 2 tblsp no sugar added applesauce for the 1/3 cup of butter (just to cut back on the fat a bit). I added just a dash of cinnamon and a 1/2 tsp on vanilla. I used mini chocolate chips. I also decided to add a nice streusel topping (I think that was the boyfriend's favorite part).
