Mini Banana BREAD Loaves

There are so many recipes you can make with overripe bananas. I have used it countless times in many of my recipes. Who doesn't right? But for Banana Bread, I always use this recipe. It is fail proof as I have used this for my BANANA MUFFINS, CREAM CHEESE BANANA BREAD, EASY BANANA LOAF BREAD and more. It is very soft and moist. Super easy to make and delicious! 
This time I made mini loaves. I only used this pan when I made my KOREAN EGG BREAD so I thought of using it again and make these cuties then topped with nuts and chocolate chips. 
​

For the toppings, you can use anything that you like. Here, I just used whatever I have available in my pantry. I  coarsely chopped walnuts and almonds. I also have chocolate chips and sliced almonds. You can also make your own toppings and drizzle with glaze, melted chocolate, ganache, cream cheese and more. It's endless! These mini loaves can also be given as a gift (placed in a box- photos below) or can be sold. I promise your customers will be happy.
If you'd like to add more toppings, you can but I suggest to take it easy especially the chocolate chips as it can be too sweet unless you adjust the sugar on the cake batter. Nuts are okay though. :)
​

Tips:

• Add more toppings if you like. It tends to look like there are less toppings after baking as the cake expands and the topping separates. 
• Sugar can be adjusted according to your preference. If you will be adding all chocolates on top, you can add 1/2 cup of sugar instead of 3/4 cup. 

Where to get this mini loaf pan?  I got this from Amazon, link here 8 2.5x4-inch loaf pan. If you are in the Philippines, this should be available at your baking supply store like the below box for your goodies.
