Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups chopped peanuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray, and line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture, and whisk again until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

Step 7

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips or peanuts on top if desired for decoration.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
