1½ cup (375 mL) flour

3.5 oz. (100 g) milk chocolate, chopped

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush or spray the Large Round Stone with oil.
Whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla, and whisk until well combined.
Add the flour, salt, and banana to the mixture and stir until the ingredients are incorporated. Fold in the chocolate and walnuts.
