BANANA BREAD WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND WALNUTS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 9 by 5-inch metal loaf pan. Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Combine the chocolate chips and walnuts in a small bowl; add 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture and toss to coat.
- In a stand mixer, beat the butter in a large bowl until fluffy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until well blended. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Beat in the mashed bananas, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat in flour mixture.
- Spoon one-third of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the chocolate-chip and nut mixture. Spoon another one-third of batter into the pan. Sprinkle with the remaining nut mixture. Cover with the remaining one-third batter. Run a knife through the batter in a zigzag pattern.
- Bake the bread until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 5 minutes. Turn out onto a rack and cool.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your banana bread tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will result in a banana bread that is too thick and dense.
- Bake the banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: If you bake the bread at a higher temperature, it will burn on the outside before it is cooked through in the center.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Banana bread is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its moist, flavorful texture and sweet banana flavor, it's the perfect snack or breakfast treat. Whether you like it plain, with chocolate chips, or with nuts, there's a banana bread recipe out there for everyone.
