Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and free of large lumps.
  3. Stir in the sugar, orange juice, eggs, softened butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until the flour disappears. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
