You HAVE to try this!! What a great combination-how can you go wrong with peanut butter, chocolate, and bananas?? This recipe is from the Better Homes and Gardens Annual Recipes cook book (1998).

SERVES 20 , 2 loaves (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 slightly beaten eggs
1 cup mashed banana (2-3 medium)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
2 cups self-rising flour
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional) or pecans (optional)

Directions

1
Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of two loaf pans; set aside.
2
In a medium mixing bowl stir together the eggs, bananas, sugar, peanut butter, and milk.
3
Stir in the flour just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
4
Fold in chocolate pieces and peanuts or pecans.
5
Spoon batter into the prepared pans.
6
Bake in a 350°F oven about 45 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

8
Remove loaves from pans.
9
Cool completely on a wire rack.
10
Wrap and store overnight for easier slicing.

I was intriqued by the addition of peanut butter so I was excited to try it. I was out of self rising flour so I followed the substitution recommendation. I baked on convection/bake at 350 for ~35 minutes. yummy...thanks.

I am not a big fan of banana breads. I made this because I had over ripe bananas to use up. To my surprise I thought they were pretty good! I used the mini chocolate chips. I didn't have any nuts so I used extra chocolate chips in their place. You can never have too much chocolate! I baked this as muffins instead of in a loaf. That way it is easy to pop one into lunches or grab them on the go. I baked them for 17 minutes at 350. They turned out great! Thanks so much!

This is an awesome recipe - great flavors together! I have made it twice. The first time as muffins and the second time as a loaf. For me, it yielded 1.5 dozen muffins (I baked them at 400 for 17 minutes). I checked the loaf at 35 minutes and it was completely done, so it might have even been done sooner (maybe those who thought this wasn't moist overcooked it, if they went the full 45 minutes without checking sooner). I incorporated some of the reviewers' comments, and added 1 tsp of vanilla and used 3/4 cup of old fashioned peanut butter (and it was very peanut buttery!). I also decreased the chocolate chips to 1/2 cup, so they wouldn't be too overwhelming (it was still plenty chocolate-y). I didn't have self rising flour, so used the substitution at the bottom. I also used buttermilk, so added an extra 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. One third of the flour I used as whole wheat (I don't think you could tell, but you get almost 3 grams of fiber per muffin). Delicious!

OK, so I was going to invent my own version of this and post it here because I thought I had an original idea. Then I did a search and found a few of you were as crazy as me! Since I must tinker, I used 3/4 cup of natural chunky peanut butter and added 1 tsp of vanilla extract. I mixed it all up in my KitchenAid mixer and baked muffins for 25 minutes. This made 16 muffins and they are so unbelievably awesome! They rose high, have a very moist, dense quality and the flavors all come through in a very nice balance. I can't wait until the next batch of bananas gets too ripe to eat!
