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.
