I have officially joined the hype! I was abit hesitant on posting this recipe, because lately there have been so many banana bread recipes being posted. But i thought why not! I'm sure you all would like to see my take on banana bread, so here it is. This banana walnut bread is perfectly fluffy, soft, and moist. It’s studded with chunks of walnuts and chocolate chips and has the perfect amount of sweetness.

What makes this recipe so good?
For starters, we swap in full-fat sour cream (don't even think about reaching for low-fat) instead of milk, which I find gives the banana bread a subtle tangy flavour and richer texture.
Instead of adding two eggs (traditional in most banana breads), we use one whole egg plus one egg yolk, which helps make the banana bread extraaa moist.
Add on the walnuts....
