Since my family is divided on mix ins for our banana bread, we decided to make our two loaves different flavors.  

HOW TO ADD TOPPINGS TO QUICK BREAD

Once you make the batter, add them to the loaf pans.  Cover one with chips and the other with cut pecans.  (Be sure to press them into the batter slightly)
