1 egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 large banana, mashed
1/2 cup sour cream

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9x5" loaf pan with baking spray.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flours, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
• In a larger mixing bowl, use a mixer to cream sugar and butter,  add egg and vanilla.
• Stir in mashed bananas, sour cream. Mix in dry ingredients by hand, just until combined.  Fold in melted chocolate until evenly mixed.
• Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts onto batter, using the back of a spoon to lightly press them in.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before removing from pan and slicing.
