Oil-Free Naturally-Sweetened Raspberry Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mash bananas in a medium mixing bowl until free of any lumps. Add applesauce, almond milk, vanilla, and maple syrup. Whisk to combine.

In a separate small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and as you are mixing, gently fold in chocolate chips and raspberries, taking care not to over-mix the batter.

Pour into a nonstick (or lightly greased) 9 x 5 loaf pan. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until lightly golden. Loaf is ready when a knife or toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan and slicing.
