Peanut Butter Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips.
Servings 20
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour 300 grams
- ½ cup granulated sugar 100 grams
- ½ cup packed brown sugar 100 grams
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 ripe large bananas mashed (230 grams)
- 1 cup milk
- ¾ cup chunky peanut butter 190 grams
- 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg slightly beaten
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk -- I used mini chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 8x4 inch loaf pans with flour-added cooking spray.
- Stir flour, sugars, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine mashed bananas, milk, peanut butter, oil, vanilla and egg in a second bowl. Add banana mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into the two loaf pans and bake on center rack for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool thoroughly on a wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before serving.
Notes
This recipe fits perfectly into two 8x4 inch loaf pans. If you don't have two 8x4 inch loaf pans, fill a larger (9x5 inch) loaf pan to within about 1 ½ inches of the top of the pan and put any remaining batter into a small loaf pan or muffin cups. If you'd like to swirl some peanut butter over the top of the batter, mix together 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and about 1 ½ tablespoons powdered sugar. Spoon and gently swirl over the top of the loaves before baking.
