Description

Elevate your Pillsbury banana bread mix by adding delicious nuts and chocolate chips! This guide provides step-by-step instructions and tips for creating a customized and flavorful treat that everyone will love.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Pillsbury Banana Bread Mix
  • Water, oil, and eggs (as required by the mix instructions)
  • 1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
  • 1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or semi-sweet)
  • 1 tablespoon flour (for coating nuts and chocolate chips, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pillsbury banana bread batter according to the package instructions, mixing until just combined.
  2. Lightly coat the chopped nuts and chocolate chips in flour (optional, but helps prevent sinking).
  3. Gently fold the nuts and chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly with a spatula.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.
  5. Bake according to the Pillsbury banana bread mix instructions, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Toasting nuts before adding enhances their flavor.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer taste.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter for a tender bread.
  • Adjust baking time as needed, as add-ins may extend it slightly.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
