Chunky Monkey Banana Bread

 This is my favorite banana bread combo: banana + walnuts + chocolate chips! This brings already delicious banana up a notch or 10!  I add about a half bag of mini chocoate chips and a mounded 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts to my batter.  Here's my recipe.  Enjoy!

Chunky Monkey Banana Bread

1 cup mashed, ripe banana

3/4 cup milk

3 tbsp vegetable oil

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

3 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (regular and milk chocolate work too)

Heaping 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (may substitute pecans)


Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together and pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake for 65 minutes.  Pierce with cake tester or knife.  If wet, bake for another 15-20 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
