6. Stir in the cinnamon and chocolate chips.
7. If using walnuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
9. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Variations:
* Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to give the bread a unique twist
* Substitute chopped pecans or hazelnuts for the walnuts
* Use dark or milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet
* Add some chopped fresh fruit like cranberries or cherries to the batter
* Make muffins instead of a loaf by dividing the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups and baking for 20-25 minutes
Tips:
* Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
* Don't overmix the batter to ensure the bread remains moist and tender.
