75g / 1/2 cup applesauce
450g / 1lb ripe bananas (around 3/4 bananas)

This chocolate and banana tea loaf is the ultimate comfort snack.
1. Line a loaf tin with baking parchment and preheat the oven to 180 C/350 F.
2. Beat the sugars and coconut oil together until light and fluffy, then beat in the applesauce.
3. In a separate bowl, mash together the bananas and lemon juice, add to the sugar/oil mixture and beat until the mixture is smooth.
4. Finally fold in the chocolate chips, flours, baking powder and salt and bake for 1 hour. It should be firm to the touch.
5. Cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
6. For my fellow people who live at high altitude – use a tbsp less of agave and an extra tsp of baking powder. Bake at 165 C/330 F and check at 50mins.
