Apple Sauce Chocolate Chip Bread

2013-03-10 13.18.46

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.

  3. Mix in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the vanilla.
  4. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt cocoa and cinnamon.

  1. I have been making this recipe for years, but I put a layer of choc chips on top and leave out the raisins (yeeech). I make them for gifts in little pans and in jars. Everyone loves it.
