Chocolate Chip Walnut Banana Bread Recipe
Description
The recipe features three medium bananas mashed and combined with eggs, brown sugar, and melted butter for a sweet and moist batter. The dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt—are whisked separately and gently folded into the wet mixture to avoid overmixing. Chocolate chips and chopped walnuts are folded in last, adding texture and additional flavor nuances.
After pouring the batter into a buttered loaf pan, the bread bakes at 350°F for 65 to 75 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly. Once baked, cooling in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to a rack finishes the bread's set-up. The bread offers a moist crumb with pockets of melted chocolate balanced against nutty crunch.
This banana bread is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed sliced as a treat or breakfast option. The combination of chocolate and walnuts elevates the typical banana bread with added texture and taste complexity.
Ingredients
- 3 medium banana
- 2 large egg
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup butter melted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a 5"x9" loaf pan. Mash the bananas in a large bowl. Add the eggs, brown sugar, and melted butter and whisk well.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gently fold the flour mixture into the banana mixture. When only a few streaks of flour remain, add the chocolate chips and walnuts and fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Top with a few extra walnuts and chocolate chips, if you'd like.
- Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cleck the loaf after 45 minutes and, if it's browning too quickly, cover the top loosely with foil. Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes in the pan then invert the pan to remove the bread and let it finish cooling on a cooling rack.
