Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1¼ teaspoons baking soda
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
⅓ cup mascarpone, plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, or sour cream
¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

4-5 very ripe bananas (about 1½ cups)

½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)_
Directions
Peel the bananas and place them directly on the grill grate of your smoker. Let them smoke at 150-165 degrees for 20 minutes.
Combine the brown sugar, butter, and mascarpone and then mix with an electric mixer on medium high until the batter is light and fluffy.
Add the two eggs and continue mixing.
Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt in to the batter. Mix on low until the flour is incorporated.
Mash the bananas and add to the batter and mix them in.
Fold the walnuts and chocolate chips into the batter.
Line a bread loaf pan with butcher paper or parchment paper. Pour the batter in and place the loaf pan in your smoker set to a temp of 375 degrees.
Cook the banana bread for approximately 65 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick pulls clean from the center.
