Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10×5 loaf pan and lightly dust with flour.
Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisk until smooth.
Mix in the mashed bananas, sour cream, sea salt, and baking soda until fully combined.
Add the flour and cinnamon, and gently mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks, walnuts, and white chocolate chunks, reserving some for garnish if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, topping with extra chocolate chunks and walnuts.
Bake for 60-70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Cool before slicing.

Notes

Ensure bananas are very ripe for the best flavor.
Tent with foil if the bread is browning too quickly.
Storage: Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
