Serving: 1 (9-inch) loaf
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 55 min

REQUIREMENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 very ripe bananas, mashed well (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup peanut butter chips

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• Line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment then grease the parchment paper with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Set it aside.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract and peanut butter until well combined.
• Lightly fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula just until combined. (The batter will be thick and chunky.) Stir in the peanut butter chips then scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake the bread for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely. Slice and serve the bread or store it, wrapped securely in plastic wrap at room temperature or in the fridge.
