Notes

Applesauce: You can substitute with an equal amount of milk if you don't have any applesauce.
Don't over mix the batter when you add the flour. The dry ingredients should be just combined.
Be sure to grease your tin well before adding the batter and baking. You can also use parchment for super easy removal.

Storage: Store double chocolate banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
