Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 to 4 ripe bananas (smashed)
  • 1/3 cup melted UNSALTED butter ( (if using salted butter, omit salt from ingredient list))
  • 3/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips

Instruction

  • No need for a mixer for this recipe! Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, using a wooden spoon or whisk, mix melted butter into the mashed bananas.
  • Add peanut butter and stir until combined.
  • Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla.
  • Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in.
  • Add the flour last, mixing just until combined (all lumps of flour should be incorporated), but avoid over mixing, which produces a tough, rubbery bread.
  • Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the loaf.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.
