Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups overripe bananas (mashed)
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • 1 cup walnuts (toasted)
  • 1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare three 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans. Spray with vegetable spray. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the loaf pan and lay it in.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs and sugar. Blend on medium speed for about 5 minutes until thick and light colored. Add bananas, buttermilk and vanilla and blend until combined.
  • In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir to distribute ingredients.
  • Add flour to wet ingredients in three additions, being careful not to over mix the batter.
  • In the same bowl you used for the flour, add the chocolate chips. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon flour and mix with your fingers until chocolate chips are dusted with flour. Stir the chips and toasted walnuts into the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the three prepared loaf pans. 
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and cake tester comes out clean.
  • Divide the remaining chocolate chips and walnuts over the top of the three loaves.
  • Cool on a rack for 20 minutes, then turn out the bread -- removing the parchment paper. Serve.
