3 pieces ripe bananas the riper they are, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
0.5 cup unsalted butter melted butter keeps the bread incredibly moist and flavorful.
0.75 cup brown sugar adds a rich, caramel-like sweetness.
2 pieces large eggs help bind the ingredients and add richness.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances the flavors in your banana bread.
1.5 cups all-purpose flour provides that satisfying structure.
1 teaspoon baking soda helps the bread rise.
0.5 teaspoon salt balances the sweetness.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, then stir in melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, if using.
Gradually fold the dry mixture into the banana mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in chocolate chips and walnuts, if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top, adding extra chocolate chips if desired.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
