On that rare occasion when I have bananas that didn’t get eaten before they got a little too ripe I pull out my mixer and whip up this easy banana bread recipe. I love banana bread because it is a quick bread that doesn’t require kneading dough or waiting for it to rise. I can just throw all of the ingredients into one big bowl, stir it all together and pour it in a mixer. And, since peanut butter and chocolate make everything that much better I throw a little of each into my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe!
Once the bread has baked and cooled complete I like to top it off with just a little more peanut butter and chocolate. I melt each in the microwave until it is a pourable consistency and then drizzle it all over the top. What I end up with is a decadent, moist, totally irresistible Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread that usually disappears by the end of the day.
