With the addition of crunchy walnuts and sweet chocolate chips, this banana bread is a slice of heaven in every bite.

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and set it aside.
2. Mash the Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add melted butter, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined. Beat in the egg until the mixture is smooth.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in Walnuts and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips into the batter. This adds a delightful crunch and bursts of sweetness to every slice.
6. Transfer to Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The top should be golden brown.
8. Cool and Slice: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and savor each delicious bite.
