Ingredients You Need for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

• 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare the Bananas

Peel ripe bananas and place them in a bowl. Mash them using a fork until smooth. A few small lumps are fine for texture and flavor.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients

Add peanut butter, melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk everything until smooth and creamy. Make sure the mixture is well combined.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well using a spoon. This helps distribute baking soda evenly for proper rising.

4. Mix Wet and Dry

Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently using a spatula. Do not overmix. Overmixing can make banana bread dense instead of soft.

5. Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in chocolate chips carefully. Make sure they are evenly spread throughout the batter. Save a few chips for topping if you like.

6. Prepare the Pan

Grease a loaf pan with butter or oil. Pour the batter into the pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula. Tap lightly to remove air bubbles.

7. Bake the Bread

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 45–50 minutes. Check with a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, it is ready.

8. Cool and Slice

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a rack. Slice once fully cooled for best texture and clean cuts.

Recipe Tips

• Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness.
• Do not overmix the batter.
• Add extra chocolate chips for richer taste.
• Let bread cool before slicing.
• Store in airtight container for freshness.
