Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, sea salt, and ground cinnamon.

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined - do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
Step 7
Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Step 10
Transfer the loaf onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
