A couple weeks ago, my friend Aileen brought homemade banana bread to our bible study session. It was absolutely delicious, and I knew that I needed to try my hand at making it. I only recently discovered this delightful sweet treat. Growing up in an Asian household, my dessert was usually just fruit. So, I didn't indulge in baked goods that often. In college, I have more opportunities to try all sorts of cuisine that I am usually unfamiliar with.

I love bananas, but they go bad so quickly! This quick and easy banana bread allows me to use my overripe bananas so that I don't have to throw them out. The weather in Irvine has been a little chilly recently, so I think it is the perfect weather to enjoy this special treat. I like to up the ante with my banana bread by including walnuts and chocolate chips (both of which are optional). It's a special touch that I like to add and the chocolate chips definitely satisfy my sweet tooth. Mmmmm absolutely delicious! Without further ado, let's dive into baking this treat.
