The smell of freshly baked bread will fill your home and have the whole household begging for a slice. Fresh mashed banana makes a moist and comforting bread which is then enhanced even further with the addition of nuts and chocolate.
The banana bread is dotted with crunchy mixed nuts and rich chocolate chips throughout with an extra crust of the luxurious toppings. You can imagine this loaf in a small boutique pastry shop, where you would HAVE to buy it. Instead however you can follow my amazingly easy recipe and create this delicious loaf yourself! Serve literally anytime of the day; as a light breakfast, mid-afternoon snack or dessert, the recipe is perfect for any occasion. I enjoyed having this banana bread for breakfast with a glass of milk.
Helpful Tips
Lightly mix the batter for a light and soft bread, overmixing will cause a stiff loaf.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing; around 30-40 minutes.
Use parchment paper to easily remove the banana bread from the pan.
Always use a toothpick to test that cake in fully baked; insert it into the center; if no batter is stuck to the toothpick; you’re good to go!
If you have a nut allergy, then leave out the nuts and use more chocolate chips for an equally amazing result!
