Easy Banana Chip Bread

This is a different spin on the banana chocolate chip bread I make regularly.  It is a huge fan favorite in the family and at work as well.  You really cannot go wrong with bananas and chocolate chips.  I found this in Healthy Cooking Magazine...a slice of this cake is 233 calories which isn't bad for a real treat!

1 pkg. yellow cake mix
1 1/4 C. water
3 eggs
1/2 C. unsweetened applesauce
2 medium bananas, mashed
1 C. miniature chocolate chips
1/2 C. chopped walnuts (I will either omit these or use pecans; I like them better.)

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, eggs and applesauce; beat on low speed for 30 seconds.  Beat on medium for 2 minutes.  Stir in the bananas, chips and walnuts.

Transfer to a 10 inch fluted tube pan coated with cooking spray and sprinkled with flour.  Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
