• 2 eggs

• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup buttermilk

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

• 1/2 chocolate chips (optional)

6. Beat in the eggs until combined.

7. Fold in the bananas.

8. Add in the vanilla extract and buttermilk.

10. Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture.

11. STIR GENTLY AND JUST UNTIL THE FLOUR IS INCORPORATED. DO NOT OVER STIR.

12. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
