Banana Bread Duo

Grandmom is keeping me elbow deep in bananas this month!  Obviously the first stop is banana bread!  I opted for the classsic Banana Walnut Bread, as well as a Double Chocolate Chip Banana Bread - we are a family of chocoholics, what can I say?  I debated layering these in the same pan to make 2 striped loaves, but wasn't sure if they would cook at the same rate...now I know, and the answer is yes!



Banana Walnut Bread
Yields 1 large loaf, 2 smaller loaves, or 3 mini loaves

Ingredients 
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon 
1 cup vegetable oil
2 very ripe smashed bananas (approximately 1 cup once smashed) 
2 eggs
2 tbsp milk
1 cup walnuts

To Prepare the Banana Walnut Bread 
1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees
2. Blend all of the dry ingredients (except for the walnuts) together in a bowl.
3. Add the oil. milk, eggs, and bananas and mix until you reach a smooth consistency.
4. Fold in the walnuts.
5. Bake for appoximately 45 minutes in a greased pan, or until the bread is cooked through.
