Healthier version Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Taylor and I had some time tonight because Dad is at Bible study. We have been eating healthier, but still like our sweets. So here is a healthier version of Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. I adapted it from chef chloe again. I love her. But I changed it up a little. She does vegan and I eat eggs... hey I am all about sustainable food. I am not allergic to eggs and if the eggs are not fertilized all they are is an egg. So I therefore eat them. I miss my chickens. Back at the big white house we had chickens and I loved getting my fresh eggs and I also loved my chickens. sigh.... anyway. We had fun making this. I haven't been feeling too well (still getting over the stupid pine nut issue) so it was nice to have some help in the kitchen. This is healthier because it doesn't have any butter and hardly any egg. You can make it without egg too for vegan. It is really yummy.

Here is the process for making:
