Chocolate Chip Walnut Banana Bread
My chocolate chip walnut banana bread is full of extra goodness to mix up the banana bread game. Add in some cinnamon and nutmeg and you've got the ultimate banana bread that's perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups (300g) whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/3 cups (300g) mashed overripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup (60g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup (60g) canola oil
- 1/2 cup (110g) unsweetened oat milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup (110g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (55g) semi sweet chocolate chip
- 1/2 cup (50g) chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line or spray a 9x5 loaf pan.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash your banana if it's not already mashed. Add the eggs and brown sugar. Whisk until well combined. Add in the oil, milk, Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and using a spatula, fold together gently until half combined. Add in the chocolate chips and walnuts and fold together until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If you want that traditional looking crack in the middle once baked, run your spatula lengthwise down the middle of the batter making a line in the batter. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the top springs back when touched.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months and enjoy!
