Banana Bread with Walnuts & White Chocolate

Banana bread is such a great thing - great for breakfast, dessert or just a snack. After discovering the original recipe in one of my cookbooks (Cook This, Not That) and using Greek yogurt - I really crave it now. I've made it in all different combinations... here is just one of them.

Banana Bread with Walnuts & White Chocolate

ingredients

• 4 very ripe bananas, peeled & mashed
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 4 Tbsp butter, melted & cooled slightly
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350º, coat a 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. Combine the wet ingredients into a bowl (I used my stand mixer) and blend together. In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients (except chocolate chips) until combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

3. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top out with a rubber spatula. Place pan on the lowest rack in your oven and bake for 55 mins - 1 hr 10 mins. You can tell when it's done by placing a toothpick in several spots and it comes out clean. Let rest on stove top for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and place on a cooling rack to come to room temperature.

I store mine in tightly wrapped plastic in the fridge to make it last longer. This blend of ingredients makes the moistest, most flavorful banana bread I've tried. 

Enjoy!
