So you mean to tell me that I can merge my favorite cake with my favorite bread, then load it with delicious velvety chocolate chips and nutty walnuts? And I can make more for gifts? Oh yes! I'll take some red velvet banana bread please! Not only is the recipe super easy and practically fool-proof, but it's also special enough to give as a gift! Wrap a loaf in plastic wrap with some pretty string and a cute tag and you're all set! The funny thing is, my family is used to me hand making gifts for their birthdays, holidays, and such. When I'm lazy or run out of gift-making-time and try to compensate by giving a store bought gift, I get weird looks. Thank you's seem to be forced; followed by falsified smiles. Maybe I just feel like they're responding like that because I know the gift could be better...I don't know. What I do know is when I give a gift that I made and wrapped with my own two hands, I get better results. :-) This recipe allowed me to give a great handmade gift in a flash that was easy and cost effective to make. It's a little out of the norm which makes it even more special, it's handmade, it's a beautiful red color, and tastes wonderful. I am absolutely in love with this bread! I'll be making more on valentine's day; If I can wait that long. :-) I found the original recipe on Pinterest by Lise of The Mom Loves Baking Blog. In my version I made a few changes to the recipe. I omitted the white chocolate drizzle and sprinkles. Don't get me wrong; the white chocolate and sprinkles made the bread so beautiful you almost don't want to eat it. I just don't really like either of them. Don't you want to sink your teeth into this red velvety chocolaty banana bread match made in heaven? Let's get started! Maybe they'll be a few loaves left to give away. :-) First mash the bananas. Then in a mixing bowl, mix cake mix, oil, eggs and bananas together. Next, stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Lastly, pour into greased loaf pans and bake for 40 minutes. See! I told you it was easy. :-) The complete recipe is listed below. Red Velvet Banana Bread Recipe Makes 3 loaves Materials
