The Best Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread
My kids seem to think that as soon as a banana has any brown on it that it’s rotten, so I definitely have a lot of opportunities to use up ripe bananas! I usually end up using them in smoothies, but decided that I would make something different this time and came up with this yummy chocolate peanut butter banana bread.
I always lather on the peanut butter when I am eating regular banana bread, so I thought that I would save myself a step and just put it directly into the banana bread. And, of course, nothing goes better with bananas and peanut butter than chocolate!
This banana bread was so delicious that I made another one the next day. I had to restrain myself from making more. 🙂
