Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Loaf pan
- oven
- Hand mixer
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 very ripe bananas
- ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter
- ½ cup milk (whole, 2 percent or nut milk works)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter

- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray or grease a 4 ½x8 ½-inch loaf pan very well.
- Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl using a fork. Whisk in the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla. Mix in the sugar.
- In another mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, beat peanut butter until smooth. Beat this into the banana mixture. Scrape the bowl down and beat in the baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- Fold in the flour until completely combined, followed by the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake at 350°F for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the bread is deeply golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and place on a rack to cool completely before turning out.
- Store the leftover bread wrapped well in plastic at room temperature for up to 3 days. Leftovers are great toasted lightly in a pan with butter.
