Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

A super simple banana bread with a light peanut butter flavor, studded with chocolate chips, and topped with a thick, rich, peanut butter frosting. It tastes like dessert!

I absolutely love banana bread, something you may already know since I have several different recipes on my site, including two of my most popular recipes, cream cheese banana bread, and super simple banana bread.

This particular banana bread is a variation on my super simple recipe, but with some peanut butter, some chocolate chips, and a delicious peanut butter frosting topping. Basically it is an amped up version, but still as easy as ever. And it turns out every time for me.

Now that I have told you about the banana bread, and how amazing it is, and how you can’t go wrong making it…wait, I didn’t tell you that. Well, it is true. It rocks. You can’t go wrong making it. Now that you know this, can we just talk about kids for a minute.

My kids always ALWAYS want to cook with me. And I love them for it. But seriously, it takes soooo long, and sometimes, I just want to get dinner on the table, and not have splatters, and spills, and near misses doing it. How come kids never really want to do the things you want them to do…like clean their rooms, or take out the bathroom garbage, or do their homework, but something you would rather they not do, and they are all in? Laws of nature or something I swear.

Anyway, my rugrats always want to bake with me, so the other day I was shopping at over-ripe bananas were on sale for super cheap. I can’t even remember how much, so I got several bundles thinking I would make a bunch of banana bread and freeze it for later. I get in the kitchen and start preparing the banana bread, and lo and behold kids 1 and 3 wander in, soon to be followed by kid 4, and eventually kid 2. So here I am with 4 kids wanting to cook, and I FINALLY just give in.

I handed each of them a big mixing bowl, and then pulled out the ingredients for super simple banana bread. They each measured and mixed in the ingredients, and we had a lot of fun. Then the base of the bread was done.

Then I told them they could personalize their batch. I got out nuts, chocolate chips, toffee chips, and other goodies, and let them each personalize their loaf. They had so much fun with it. My oldest wanted mini loaves with chocolate chips. My youngest wanted muffins with peanut butter chips. Their personalities really played out. So I thought I would personalize my own batch.

And so you get peanut butter and chocolate chip, because that is what I was wanting!

    Hi! My husband, Ray, and I served in Albuquerque with Niel and Marilyn – who we absolutely LOVE! We stayed at their home when we finished our mission. Brett – we have to tell you that we ate at Ruby River Monday night with another couple. I asked about you (we already knew you were gone to your next adventure!), and our waitress said how sad everyone was when you left; that they cried. She also said that the workers weren’t very nice to the man who took over your position. I’m sure you wouldn’t have allowed that if you’d been there. We were disappointed in the food. Three of us had the almond-crusted halibut. It was tough and chewy, and the steamed veggies were still quite crunchy – especially the carrots – with no butter or seasoning on them, not the yummy, delicious ones we’ve had before. In fact, my cauliflower was grey on the top, so I was surprised they even served it. That’s probably disappointing for you to hear, since you did such an excellent job as manager. I hope you got our thank-you card I left there while you were still manager. You were so kind when we ate there with your parents. Thank you! Ray & Diana Ellis
