Loaded Banana Bread

Buckle up loves, this loaded banana bread is about to blow your mind. This moist banana bread is loaded with chocolate, walnuts & plump sultanas. Eat it fresh out of the oven or the day after when it's extra moist. Just the perfect snack, PLUS it is the most perfect way to use up all those overripe bananas.

I’m gonna be honest, I even buy more bananas than I know I can eat in a week, just so I have an excuse to whip up this banana bread at the end of the week. 

Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread

This banana bread is like the Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey take on banana bread. It’s loaded with chocolate chunks, toasted walnuts, juicy & plump sultanas and incredible banana flavour with hints of cinnamon & vanilla. 

How to make the best banana bread

There are just a few steps to whip up this amazing banana bread and it doesn’t require much extra explanation, but there are a few tips I can give you to get the best flavour!

• Use overripe bananas. When I say overripe, I really mean brown-brown overripe bananas, no yellow bananas allowed! Didn’t have enough time to let your bananas ripen? You can also bake them in an oven on 200C for 15 minutes until they are pitch black and juicy on the inside, that does the trick too! However, for the best sweet flavour, I highly recommend allowing them to naturally ripen
• Don’t overmix and/or bake. I can’t stress this enough, overmixing your batter will only result in tough bread and overbaking will dry out your loaf. So, highly recommended to stop mixing once all the dry is fully incorporated and to stop baking when a toothpick doesn’t leave wet batter behind
• Coat your walnuts & chocolate in flour. Now, this might sound a bit excessive, but it makes all the difference! Coating these ingredients in flour makes sure that they do not sink to the bottom and burn to the loaf pan, nobody likes burnt chocolate right? Plus, we want that even distribution of chunks!
