Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
There are a number of recipes for this bread available on the Internet. Most of the others used milk chocolate chips. I am not a fan of milk chocolate, so I gravitated toward this one. I can't tell you that the others aren't good, but this one is GREAT! Its a wonderful combination of ingredients. The original recipe called for creamy peanut butter, but I recommend chunky. If you are able to buy Parkers Farm All Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter in your area, by all means do. Their crunchy PB has peanut halves not little pieces. For peanut butter fans its good on bread, crackers, etc. and in this recipe. 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 medium-large ripe mashed bananas 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided use 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup milk 3/4 cup semi-sweet or dark
