Nutty Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips

Nutty Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips

Why throw away ripened bananas when you can make a delicious banana loaf?

You'll need:
- 3 or 4 ripened bananas, smashed
- 1 egg, beated
- 1/3 cup of butter, melted
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch of cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups of flour

- 1/4 cup your choice of chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work best)

- 1/4 cup of chocolate chips of your choice

Start by preheating your oven to 350 and lining your pan with parchment paper or with butter.

Now start by mixing together, with a wooden spoon, the smashed bananas, beated egg and melted butter. Then add in the sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix. Add the flour and mix, if there are some banana chunks that's fine you don't want the mixture to be entirely smooth. Add in the walnuts and chocolate chips, mix on last time and then pour into your lined pan.

Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour. When done, insert a toothpick, butter knife or whatever into the loaf and if it comes out clean, without batter, it's ready!

Let it sit for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan, and serving.

Enjoy!
