- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk together the 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Thoroughly grease a 9×5 nonstick loaf pan with butter and the cinnamon-sugar mixture (swirl the pan around until it’s coated. Discard excess or use for something else. Watch the video, if you’re unsure.)

- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and butter.
- Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until combined.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir together until just incorporated and smooth.
- Stir in the mashed bananas and sour cream. Don’t over-mix.
- With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Arrange banana slices over the top and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
- Place in oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour (start checking after 55 minutes.)
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cook completely.
- Slice and enjoy!
