Chocolate Chip-Walnut Banana Bread/Muffins


I decided to make two batches of this recipe, and split the batter between a bread pan and a muffin pan. I grabbed a ton of ingredients at the store and wanted to mix and match each batch. In the bread pan batch I added chocolate chips and walnuts, while in the muffin batch I added chocolate chips, walnuts, and sweetened coconut flakes. In my personal opinion I looove coconut so I thought the muffins came out the best! The ingredients below are measured out for one batch (about 10 muffins).


Ingredients:
4 Bananas
1/3 cup melted butter 
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp.vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
mini bag of walnut pieces, chocolate chips, or sweetened coconut flakes (all optional)






Recipe:
Preheat the oven to 350. Slice the bananas into chunks and mash them with a fork in a medium mixing bowl. Melt the butter, and mix it into the mashed bananas. Next, add sugar, vanilla, and egg (it might help to beat the egg before adding to the batter) and baking soda. Now is when you can decide to add any variety of side ingredients such as walnuts, chocolate chips, and coconut flakes (mix in any amount to your taste)! 


Pour the batter into either a greased bread pan (mine was 5X9) or a greased muffin pan. If you are making bread, put the batch in the oven for about 1 hour. If you are making muffins, bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. 


Cool and serve with ice cream, milk or hot tea! Enjoy!
