Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.

In a medium bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth and slightly chunky.

In a large bowl combine melted or softened butter with brown sugar until smooth.

Add in eggs and whisk until smooth

To mixture, add milk and vanilla extract until combined. Add in in the mashed bananas to the batter and mix until incorporated.

Add in flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt to batter and gently stir until batter is combined. Do not over mix, batter lumps are okay.

Gently fold in chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (reserve 1/2 cup for topping) and walnuts until just combined.

Pour batter into a prepared loaf tin, smooth the top and top with a few banana slices and remaining chocolate. Bake banana bread for 50-60 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.

Allow banana bread to cool for 10-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack and slicing.
