What’s not to love about banana bread? Quick to make and always tasty, it goes easily from breakfast table, to lunch box, to after dinner treat with tea. And many of us have a family recipe we’ve been making for so long we could do it with our eyes closed. So why not give your go-to recipe a break and give our chocolate-walnut banana bread a try?

Plus, we’ve added enough chocolate chips to make sure it appeals to those with a sweet tooth, and the protein-packed walnuts balance the sweetness.
