Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Mash bananas with a fork.
Lightly beat eggs.
Stir mashed bananas, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract & sugar together in a large bowl. Stir until fully blended.
Mix in remaining ingredients (except the chopped walnuts & chocolate chips). Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts & all of the chocolate chips to the batter. Save the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts to add to the top later. Stir until the chopped walnuts & chocolate chips are evenly mixed throughout the batter.
Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
Sprinkle the remaining chopped walnuts (1/4 cup) on top of the batter within the bread pan.
Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes or until golden brown.
Take out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.
