Chocolate Chip Walnut Banana Bread

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with a parchment sling.
  2. Spread the walnuts on a small baking sheet and toast them in the oven until fragrant. Let them cool.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, then whisk in the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, sour cream and vanilla.
  4. Whisk in the baking soda and salt, then fold in 1 3/4 cups flour just until barely combined.
  5. Toss the chocolate chips and walnuts with the extra tablespoon of flour (this keeps them from sinking), then fold them into the batter.
  6. Scrape into the pan, smooth the top and sprinkle evenly with the turbinado sugar.
  7. Bake until a toothpick in the center comes out without wet batter (melted chocolate is fine). Tent with foil after 45 minutes if the top is getting dark.
  8. Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then lift out and cool at least 15 minutes more on a rack before slicing.
