Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan

Step 4: Combine Everything

  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
  2. Fold in chopped walnuts and chocolate chips if using.

Step 5: Bake the Banana Bread

  2. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
