Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Stir in the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture, whisking until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be just combined.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts, ensuring an even distribution.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
