Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.

- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Arrange the banana slices on top, then sprinkle with the walnut halves, extra chocolate chips, and brown sugar.

- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool before slicing.

- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
