Line the baking pan with parchment paper . If you don’t have parchment paper grease it with butter and sprinkle some all purpose flour on it. Then dust the extra flour and you can add the cake batter.

Garnish the cake with some chocolate chips and walnuts. Walnuts in banana bread is the best combination as it gives a nutty texture to the bread. You can skip it if you don’t like it.

Tip:

Do not check the oven again and again as cake will not rise. Check it after 50 minutes and if the skewer still has some batter on it bake the cake for extra 5-10 minutes as per your requirement. Also do not over-mix the batter. Just stop mixing once the batter is well combined.

Once the cake is done let the cake cool in the pan. Take out gently and cut it in slices. This is going to be the best banana bread recipe you have tried!
