It was another one of those “I bought too many bananas” situation – and ended up with mushy bananas no one wanted to eat. This bread is a combo of the mushy bananas, applesauce, and peanut butter with some mini chocolate chips swirled in the batter. It yields two loaves – one for you and one to share!
