Gone bananas...

... for banana bread / muffins

I found this banana banana bread muffins recipe a couple months ago and it turned out great just as I had hoped for since there were over 4000 - 4 1/2 star reviews. I've been baking for a while now and probably even more now since my husband and I got married last year. So... I have a ton of recipes and pics backed up that need to be posted. Anyway, he loves desserts but not as much as I love baking and mixing them. So his suggestion one day was banana bread and since I didnt have a loaf pan then, it turned out to be muffins! All I did extra was I added some chopped walnuts that I had lying around which naturally goes well with bananas.

So the other day I had a craving for banana banana bread and you gotta say the banana twice as theres just soo much banana (just about 5 or 6 overripe bananas) which makes this bread really moist and amazing if you like bananas. There's always an anticipation for any banana bread, just because you have to wait till the bananas get overripe. To make the bananas ripe faster put them in a paper bag with an apple or two, something to do with the gases the apples emit.


Anyway, this time I added chocolate chips into the banana banana bread loaf and disgarded the walnuts. (yup! i finally bought a 9x5 loaf pan) It turned out really good, chocolate-y, dense and as always very moist from the banana. I think the brown sugar definitely makes the difference in this loaf. And as always, serve warm and all the anticipation and waiting becomes just so worth it!
