Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round or square cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Add it to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Stir in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until fully combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until the batter is smooth and the eggs are fully incorporated.
Sift the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt over the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add the milk to the batter and stir gently to loosen the consistency.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence!
