Combine dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Mix the dry ingredients well, then add evaporated milk, 1 large egg, vanilla extract, and unsalted melted butter.

Use a wire whisk to mix until just combined; the batter will be thick.

Mash 3 medium-sized bananas and mix them into the batter until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with butter.

Alternate layering the batter with toppings like chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in the loaf pan.

Slice another banana and place it on top of the batter before adding more toppings.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).

Bake in the loaf pan for about 50 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.

Avoid opening the oven during baking to prevent the middle from collapsing.

Let the banana bread cool slightly on a rack before removing it from the pan to avoid moisture buildup.

If the toothpick comes out wet, bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Optionally, add banana slices on top for a crispy edge.
