John's Banana Bread with Walnuts
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, spray a 9x4-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking.
3
In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
4
In another large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of softened butter until you achieve a smooth consistency. Add 3-4 ripe mashed bananas to the mixture and blend until they are fully incorporated.
5
Add 2 eggs one at a time, beating the mixture well after each addition to ensure everything is fully combined. Next, stir in 1 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
6
Now, add the flour mixture you prepared earlier to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts and 1 cup of chocolate chips.
7
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air pockets that may have formed.
8
Bake the bread in your preheated oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Once the bread is done baking, let it rest in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before removing it from the pan. Slice and serve your delicious banana bread.
