Apple Sauce Chocolate Chip Bread

Print Recipe

Y’all, this is the most moist bread I have made in some time.  I was trying to utilize the many quarts of applesauce I have in my pantry, and fix the chocolate craving I was having for 2 days.  So I decided to make an apple sauce bread laden with chocolate chips.  OMG, it is so moist and the chocolate adds just the perfect touch.  Not to mention, fixing my craving.  I can’t wait to see what else I can use all this apple sauce in.  I think I better stop today though, since I first made Apple Sauce Snicker Doodles.

So, now on to this recipe…let me know what y’all think about this one.  I love your comments and feedback.
