Banana Walnut Bread w/ Chocolate Chips

This is actually Starbucks original recipe for their Banana Walnut Bread. I just changed the recipe up a bit by adding on chocolate chips. I am a fan of banana bread and this recipe is definitely worth making when you have a few ripe bananas on hand that you want to get rid of! It's perfect and moist with some crunch from the nuts. So love this recipe!

2 c flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 egg

1 1/8 c granulated sugar

1/2 c vegetable oil

2 tbsp milk

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

3 ripe medium-large bananas, mashed

1 c walnuts, chopped

1/2 c semi-sweetened chocolate chips

Pre-heat the oven to 325 deg. Grease loaf pan and dust with flour. Blend together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.

Mix together the egg, sugar and vegetable oil until combined. Add the flour mixture and when blended, add the buttermilk, vanilla and mashed bananas and mix until combined. Mixed in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Pour batter into the loaf pan.

Top batter with remaining 1/2 c chopped walnuts and 1/4 c chocolate chips. Bake for 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
