Toby’s Banana Bread Recipe

This is by far my favorite recipe for banana bread, and it’s the perfect way to use the bananas of the bunch that inevitably overripen.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 4 overripe bananas
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 cups chopped walnuts (to taste)
• 1-2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Use an electric mixer to mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy (approximately 3-4 minutes).
3. Add eggs and bananas, mix on medium speed until combined.
4. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract; mix on low speed until combined.
5. Add walnuts and chocolate chips, fold by hand until just combined.
6. Pour batter into parchment-lined loaf pan and bake for 55 minutes. Turn off oven and let rest in oven for 15-25 minutes.
