Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Crack in the eggs and add the vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top for extra chocolatey goodness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
