Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Makes: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana
  • 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and butter and lightly flour a 9x5" metal loaf pan.   
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Combine chocolate chips and walnuts in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon flour mixture to bowl and toss to coat.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Gradually add in sugar, beating until well blended.
  • Beat eggs into mixture one at a time. Add mashed bananas, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  • With the mixer on low speed, beat in flour mixture until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
  • Pour about ⅓ of the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle with half of the chocolate chip and walnut mixture. Pour an additional ⅓ of batter over. Sprinkle with remaining chip/nut mixture and top with remaining batter.
  • Bake banana bread for about 55-60 minutes, until edges are turning golden and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Turn out onto a rack and cool.
