To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook chocolate walnut banana bread using 10 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Chocolate Walnut Banana Bread:

1. Prepare 2 cups all purpose flour
2. Make ready 1 teaspoon baking powder
3. Take 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4. Make ready 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
5. Prepare 3/4 cup light brown sugar
6. Get 2 eggs
7. Get 3 large very ripe bananas (don't mash until ready to mix)
8. Prepare 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
9. Take 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
10. Take 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps to make Chocolate Walnut Banana Bread:

1. Preheat oven to 350° & spray a glass 9×5 loaf pan with non stick spray.
2. In a large bowl sift together all the dry ingredients except walnuts (flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa.) I sifted mine 3 times. This will ensure all your ingredients mix well and you won't overwork the batter.
3. In a separate bowl use a hand mixer to blend all the wet ingredients until smooth (eggs, butter, vanilla, and brown sugar.) Set aside and mash your bananas with a fork (a few chunks are ok.) Once mashed combine bananas with the wet ingredients. Add the walnuts and give a quick stir.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. I recommend doing this in batches. I did 4 batches, gently folding each with a spatula. Stir just enough to combine. You don't want to overwork the batter because it will result in a dense bread. Pour into prepared dish and place on center rack in oven.
5. Bake at 350° for about an hour. Check for doneness by inserting a small knife or a wooden skewer into the center. It's done if it comes out clean. Ovens vary so cooking time may be a little different.
6. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 30 minutes. After that remove from pan and cool for another hour on a rack.
