Banana Chocolate Chip Walnut Oat Bread
This is one of my favorite recipes, it’s a twist on the Joy of Cooking’s, bland and outdated banana bread. The rolled oats combined with the walnuts and chocolate chips enhance the texture and add a great flavor component. I like to go heavy on the walnuts and the chocolate (1 cup each) but I tamed it down for y’all. It’s great on its own, but I also like using it as a base for hot fudge sundaes.
The recipe is designed for a nine inch cake pan, if you are using a loaf pan you should cut the recipe by half.
