How to Make Easy Banana Bread Chocolate Nut

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven rack in the center.
  2. Grease three 9x5 inch loaf pans. Line with parchment paper for easy removal (optional).
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add mashed bananas, ½ cup milk to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
  6. In a large zip-top bag, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (or a mix!), and 1 cup chocolate chips.
  9. Divide batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once completely cool, wrap tightly and store at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
