A delightful twist on classic banana bread, featuring rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter for a perfect treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan.
Use parchment paper for easier removal of the loaf.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother batter.
In another bowl, mash the bananas and mix them with milk, peanut butter, and the egg.
Ensure the bananas are fully mashed for a consistent texture.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Reserve some chocolate chips for topping.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with peanuts and reserved chocolate chips.
Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cooling completely ensures clean slices.
Slice and serve your delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Loaf.
Pair with a cup of coffee for a delightful treat.
