Preferred Utensils for the job - Metal mixing bowls, wooden spoon, pairing knife, regular old fork, regular old butter knife, metal loaf pan (dark glass is ok but metal is better)

1.
Pre-heat oven to 350

2.
One Stick butter or vegan margarine softened (stick the stick on the oven top while it pre-heats)
3/4 c. sugar (I use brown but regular granulated, brown rice syrup or maple syrup can be used)
1 egg or egg replacer or 1/4 c or less apple sauce or vegan yogurt (egg replacer makes it more bread-y, apple sauce and yougurt more cake-y)
-MIX UNTIL BUTTER IS CREAMED-

3.
One apple, peeled cored and chopped into small small pieces- if you used apple sauce above, skip this
Two ripe banana's mashed (do this in its own bowl with the fork then add to the rest
-ADD TO 1

4.
Sift in the following into mix
2.c whole wheat pastry flour (use whatever kind of flour you want but this is the best- also, to keep the meal worms out of your flour throw it in the freezer as soon as you get home from the grocery store and leave it overnight at least! i leave it in there to keep it fresh)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon or whatever spices you like (cinnamon goes well with chocolate though)
If you don't have a fancy sifter, use the mesh stainer you may have for washing fruit, draining pasta, etc

*The mix should be fairly dry so it will have a bread like consistency instead of being really moist like a cake. If you feel it is too dry, add a smidge of vanilla and or milk or soy milk. One recipe I saw called for buttermilk even! Yikes I don't suggest that!

5. fold in 1/2 c chocolate chips (I only like semi sweet or vegan ones but knock your self out with milk chocolate or whatever other types you like) DONT OVERWHELM IT WITH CHOCOLATE.

6. Transfer mix to a greased pan and bake for 45 minutes and insert a butter knife. If you see batter keep cooking 5-15 more minutes depending on your oven, if you only see chocolate take it out, let it cool and eat!

If you are impatient like bryan and i, you will cut it as soon as it comes out of the over, burn your fingers but enjoy the gooey deliciousness of the melted chocolate chips but you may need a fork and plate.

If you are smart and have self control, you will let it cool for 15 minutes, run your knife along the outer edges and turnover on to a piece of plastic wrap or tin foil tap lightly and save until you are ready to eat it.

Also freezing or refrigerating half for later is a good idea if you are tempted to eat the whole loaf!
