Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Lately the bananas I have been buying at the grocery store have been ripening like crazy!  I don’t know if it’s because we’ve had the heat set a little higher in our house or because I’ve spent a little more time in the kitchen cooking, but after a few days I had some very ripe bananas on my counter ready to be made into something delicious.  When it comes to ripe bananas, I never throw them away and I almost always make banana bread.  Why?  Well,  it’s so simple to make and everyone loves it!  My little kiddos will gobble up banana bread any time of day and it never goes to waste.  Even though my family doesn’t mind having the same banana bread over and over again, I sometimes like to put a little something different and special into the mix.  This Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is only slightly different from my go to Old Fashioned Banana Nut Bread that I always make.  I simply swapped out the nuts with peanut butter and chocolate chips for an almost dessert type bread that will satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth.  A slice of this moist banana bread with chocolate and peanut butter in every bite is a wonderful treat that is perfect with a tall glass of cold milk.  This recipe makes 2 large loaves of bread, so you can serve one loaf to your family fresh from the oven and save the extra loaf in the freezer for a different day.  If you’ve got ripe bananas on your counter and want to try something different, give this tasty recipe a try!

    Definitely going to try this but just curious – do you have a measurement on the bananas? Do you normally buy large bananas. I know you can never put too many bananas in banana bread but…

    Thanks ~ Vicky

      Hi Vicky! You know, I don’t have an exact measurement, but I usually use 6 regular sized bananas. If I happen to have very large bananas I only use 5. Sorry- I hope this helps. I hope you like this if you give it a try:)
