½ cup butter, softened
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a 9x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

Stir chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, and flour mixture into banana mixture until just incorporated.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap pan on the counter to release any air pockets.

Chef John's Banana Bread

Banana bread is one of those things people rarely make on purpose, only when those last three bananas are almost black. This scrumptious banana-walnut loaf, spiked with dark chocolate chips, is so good you'll want to make it well before the bananas get to that condition.
