Chocolate Chip Banana Bread with Walnuts

Many many years ago, my friend Natalie gave me the most delicious recipe for banana bread. OH MY WORD, I’m telling you, this is the most tasty banana bread ever! It is good all by itself, but lots of times I add walnuts and chocolate chips and it is TO DIE FOR.

I was talking about making this while I was on twitter today and the recipe was requested, so I’m sneaking in a recipe post behind the scenes here at The Inspired Room!

Enjoy!

Banana Bread

1 cup white sugar

1/4 cup butter, softened

2 ripe bananas (they MUST be very brown and ripe!), mashed

1 egg, beaten

1 1/2 cup flour (I use whole wheat baking flour)

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

Chopped walnuts and chocolate chips, if desired.

Mix ingredients as listed, mixing in chopped walnuts if you’d like, and turn into a loaf pan.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top if you are a chocolate lover!

Bake at 325 degrees, 50-60 minutes.

YUM.
