Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread


So my husband asked if I could not only make Banana Bread, but make a 'Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread'.  I thought it sounded like a great idea, so I adjusted my favorite recipe to make my own combination, and it turned out great!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
3 very ripe bananas
1 cup sugar
1 stick margarine (I used light and it worked fine)
2 cups flour
2 eggs
3 Tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter chips

Mash bananas (a potato masher works well), and combine with sugar and margarine.  You can use a hand mixer if desired, but I just mix well by hand.  Add flour, eggs, peanut butter, vanilla, soda, salt, and cinnamon and mix well.  When ingredients are well combined, stir in chocolate and peanut butter chips.  You could also add nuts if you like, my husband is not a huge fan so I leave them out, but I would reccommend about 1/2 cup.  I baked mine in a bundt pan at 325 for 40 minutes (two loaf pans works well, also), but I have the feeling my oven here in AR cooks a little hot...so check your bread and cook longer if needed.

This turned out awesome...give it a try!
