 3. Sprinkle the baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt over the banana mixture. Stir
to combine.
4. Add flour and walnuts or chocolate chips (if desired), and stir just until no streaks of flour
remain. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Slice
into 10 thick slices and serve.

Notes
Baking time: If your bread pans are larger or smaller than mine, your bake time might be
on the shorter or longer side, respectively.
Muffins: This banana bread recipe can also be made as muffins. Just divide between the
cups of a muffin tin and bake for 20-24 minutes until muffins are done and a toothpick
inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
