Peanut Butter & Chocolate Banana Bread

I just came across this picture today and realized I never posted this recipe.  This is a fun twist on regular banana bread or even chocolate banana bread... add peanut butter into the mix!  If you can't tell, I'm a sucker for sweet breads.

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Banana Bread

2 c all purpose flour
1 c sugar
1 TB baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 c mashed ripe banana (approx 2 med)
1/3 c milk
1/3 c peanut butter
3 TB oil
1 egg
1 c milk chocolate morsels, divided (Or use 3/4 c. morsels inside and 1/4 c. minis for on top) 

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray bottom only of loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add bananas, milk, peanut butter, oil and egg; stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in ¾ cup of the milk chocolate morsels. Spoon batter into pan. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup of milk chocolate morsels evenly over batter.

Bake 60 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Watch and check the last ten minutes because oven temperatures vary and you do not want to overcook it! Cool in pan 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove loaf to non stick cooling rack and cool completely. 

Makes 1 loaf.
