Instructions:

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the mashed bananas and cream cheese, mixing until smooth.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
4. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread too dense.
5. Add Chocolates: Fold in the chopped milk chocolate and dark chocolate until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
9. Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
