Imagine the warm, comforting aroma of freshly baked bread, infused with the sweetness of ripe bananas, the crunch of walnuts, and the rich taste of chocolate chips. Our Chocolate Chip Walnut Banana Bread is the epitome of deliciousness.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1-1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs and mashed bananas, mixing until fully combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.
- Bake for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
- Turn off the oven and leave the bread inside for an additional 15 minutes.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before removing it from the pan and slicing to serve.
