To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook chocolate walnut banana bread using 10 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Chocolate Walnut Banana Bread:
  1. Prepare 2 cups all purpose flour
  2. Get 1 teaspoon baking powder
  3. Get 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  4. Make ready 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
  5. Make ready 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  6. Make ready 2 eggs
  7. Prepare 3 large very ripe bananas (don't mash until ready to mix)
  8. Prepare 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  9. Get 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  10. Make ready 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Fold in walnuts and chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. A wooden pick inserted in the center should come out clean. No one can resist a thick slice of freshly baked banana bread, especially when it's studded with melting chocolate chips and toasty walnuts.

Instructions to make Chocolate Walnut Banana Bread:
  1. Preheat oven to 350° & spray a glass 9×5 loaf pan with non stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl sift together all the dry ingredients except walnuts (flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa.) I sifted mine 3 times. This will ensure all your ingredients mix well and you won't overwork the batter.
  3. In a separate bowl use a hand mixer to blend all the wet ingredients until smooth (eggs, butter, vanilla, and brown sugar.) Set aside and mash your bananas with a fork (a few chunks are ok.) Once mashed combine bananas with the wet ingredients. Add the walnuts and give a quick stir.
  4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. I recommend doing this in batches. I did 4 batches, gently folding each with a spatula. Stir just enough to combine. You don't want to overwork the batter because it will result in a dense bread. Pour into prepared dish and place on center rack in oven.
  5. Bake at 350° for about an hour. Check for doneness by inserting a small knife or a wooden skewer into the center. It's done if it comes out clean. Ovens vary so cooking time may be a little different.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 30 minutes. After that remove from pan and cool for another hour on a rack.

Baking this bread is a good way to take advantage of fruit that has been languishing on the counter throughout the busy week. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more delicious the bread will be. A delicious, moist, easy to make chocolate banana quick bread. Made with cocoa powder & applesauce - this decadent bread is almost guilt-free. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to the banana mixture and mix just until combined.
