  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

  • Stir together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a wooden spoon in a separate bowl until thick and forms a paste. Add mashed bananas, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla to butter mixture, stirring until just combined.

  • Fold flour mixture into banana mixture. Once combined, fold in nuts and chocolate chips. Transfer batter to prepared loaf pans. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (will be moist but not raw), 45 to 55 minutes for 2 loaves, or 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes for 1 loaf. Cool completely in pan.
