Banana Bread II

There are many banana bread recipes out there, and most of them are very easy to make. I have a few on my own, but this one here is very delicious – moist, tender, and with the hint of chocolate when one takes a bite. This is a good way to use up the overripe bananas.

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3 overripe medium-size bananas
2 eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup soft butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup milk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9" x 4" loaf pan and set aside.
Using a potato masher, mash the bananas in a bowl and set aside.
In another bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and whisk well and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix sugar and soft butter mix until well combined. Whisk in eggs, milk, and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture and mashed bananas with a folding motion until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Whisk a few more strokes. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. While grasping each end, tap the bread pan a few times on the work surface to take some air out.

Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
