    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15x1-inch baking pan.
    2. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
    3. Beat brown sugar, butter, and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
    4. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla until well combined.
    5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter, stirring just until combined.
    6. Fold in 1 1/4 cups chocolate chunks and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
    7. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
    8. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chunks and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.
    9. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
    10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 bars.
