Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the granulated sugar, creamy peanut butter, and softened butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs to the bowl one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the peanut butter mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bread on its own, or with an extra smear of peanut butter for an indulgent treat.
