One-Bowl Banana Chocolate Chip Walnut Cake

• 4 bananas (organic, which tend t be smaller)
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar (try turbinado, which has molasses)
• 1/2 cup applesauce (flavored OK)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour (all-purpose OK)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chip
• 2/3 cup walnuts, chopped

1. Mash bananas; push to side, leaving a space along bowl's side.
2. Beat eggs along empty side of bowl, then combine with bananas.
3. Stir in sugar, applesauce, vanilla and salt.
4. Shake lightly and evenly across surface of batter, the flour and soda; mix just enough to incorporate.
5. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Go easy on chocolate chips because they can overwhelm the cake.
6. Pour into greased and floured 7"x11" pyrex glass baking dish (or muffin tins, bundt rounds, etc).
7. Bake 40 minutes at 350-degrees (less for muffins, etc.).
8. Frosting is unnecessary but cream cheese (8 oz) & butter (4 Tb) with any flavoring (any syrup, orange concentrate) is yummy.
