- Preheat your oven to 350°F.

- Sift the flour and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, walnuts, sliced bananas, and white chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×5 loaf pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top if you’d like.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
If the center of your banana bread is still a bit gooey at the 55-minute mark, cover it loosely with aluminum foil and bake for an extra 10 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
