Make a moist, rich banana bread featuring a creamy peanut butter swirl and pockets of melted chocolate chips. This is a simple, from-scratch quick bread recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, plus 1/4 cup for swirl
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, 1/2 cup peanut butter, melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until just combined.
  3. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until you have just combined the batter. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter over the batter in the pan. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the peanut butter into the batter.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the top.
  10. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For a bakery style loaf, you can line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides to easily lift the bread out.
  • If you prefer a less sweet bread, reduce the granulated sugar to 2 tablespoons.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour for up to half of the all-purpose flour for a slightly healthier option.
