CHOCOLATE CHIP AND WALNUT BANANA BREAD MUFFINS
These muffins are so moist and delicious there are never any leftovers. I am a person that does not like an overabundance of banana flavour so these were just right. You can also make this into a banana loaf as well. Adapted from a recipe I found on the Food Network.

WALNUT CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD
Baking this bread is a good way to use fruit that has been languishing on the counter during the week. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more delicious the bread will be.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350. Lightly butter a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Line bottom and long sides of pan with parchment paper. Butter the top of the parchment. Dust pan with flour, tapping out excess. Using a fork, mash bananas in a bowl. You should have about 1 cup. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a third bowl, using handheld mixer on high speed, beat together butter and sugar til light in color an texture, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat in eggs and then the mashed bananas. Reduce speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 additions alternately with the sour cream in 2 additions, beginning and ending with flour mixture and stopping to scrape down bowl as needed. Beat til smooth. Fold in chocolate chips and half of the walnuts. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining walnuts on top. Bake til toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer to wire rack and let cool in pan for 5 minutes. Turn out onto rack and remove paper. Invert again and let cool completely. Cut into slices and serve warm or at room temperature. Photo and recipe courtesy Breakfast Comforts
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking. This will help the flavors to meld and the bread to rise better.
- Bake the banana bread at a moderate temperature. A temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal.
- Check the banana bread for doneness with a toothpick. When a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, it is done.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to hold its shape.
Conclusion:
This walnut chocolate chip banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The combination of bananas, walnuts, and chocolate chips makes this bread moist, flavorful, and irresistible. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
