The peanut butter, acts as the “fat” in the bread, taking a back seat to the banana flavor. It still comes through a bit, but it isn’t the main event. The chocolate is a bonus, of course. You could certainly sub any sort of chip in there… peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips… or no chips at all.
Can you freeze ripe bananas?
Don’t ever throw out those ripe bananas. Mash them up instead and freeze ripe bananas in 1 cup increments in freezer zip bags. They freeze up just fine, and then you’ve got them for banana bread when the mood strikes. Speaking of freezing, these loaves freeze well. Since the recipe makes two, freeze one and eat the other. You can also make these up as muffins instead of loaves. If you are looking for more great banana bread recipes, you might enjoy this Pineapple Banana Bread or Greek Yogurt Banana Bread.
