Whole Wheat Oatmeal Banana Bread

• 1 cup mashed banana (about 4 small very ripe bananas, it's ok if you have more than a cup)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup applesauce (one individual cup)
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup half and half (you can use any milk you like, but I love the richness of half and half here)
• 1 1/5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl combine the banana, applesauce, honey, egg, milk, and vanilla until creamy. Make a well in the center of the wet ingredients and add the remaining ingredients, reserving a few oats for sprinkling over the top if you'd like. Combine the dry ingredients gently, then fold into the wet mixture until just mixed. Pour into a loaf pan and sprinkle with extra oats.
3. Bake for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove from the pan to a rack to cool completely before covering or slicing and serving.rnAdapted from Ambitious Kitchen
