Delicious Banana Bread with Walnuts and Chocolate Chips

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Banana Bread with Walnuts and Chocolate Chips.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, grab a 9x5-inch loaf pan and grease it well to ensure your banana bread comes out easily after baking.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas with the distilled white vinegar. This little trick helps to enhance the flavor and texture of the bread, so set it aside for a moment.

3. Step 3

   In a large bowl, cream together the white sugar and softened butter until the mixture is creamy and smooth. This is where the magic begins! Once it's well combined, beat in the eggs until everything is nicely blended.

4. Step 4

   Now, stir in the banana-vinegar mixture you set aside earlier. This will add a lovely moisture and flavor to your batter.

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps in this dry mixture; it’s essential for a fluffy bread!

6. Step 6

   Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine! If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips for an extra treat.

7. Step 7

   Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. It’s time to bake! Place the pan in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 50 to 60 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Step 8

   Once baked, let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. The aroma will be irresistible, and you might find it hard to wait before slicing into this delicious loaf!
