Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Peel and mash the three ripe bananas until mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks.
  3. Combine the mashed bananas with melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in another bowl until combined and free of lumps.
  5. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet banana mixture until just incorporated, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Incorporate chocolate chips and walnuts, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
