Chocolate Chunk Walnut Banana Bread

Trying something new with the blog pictures this time. If it works out and I like it better, which so far, I think I do, I'll probably back-track and re-upload the pictures from previous recipes to try to get them to look better. :)

Combine dry ingredients (except chocolate and walnuts) in a med. bowl.

Mix together the wet ingredients, until well combined.

Pour dry mixture into the wet mixture. I prefer to do it bit by bit. I just find it easier to mix that way.

Stir until just moistened.

Add in chocolate and walnuts.

Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour at 350°F.

Let cool for 10 min. before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.

I enjoy banana bread as a breakfast with some coffee or as a late night snack with milk. :)
