Peanut Butter Chip Banana Bread

This recipe is from Pinterest.  I followed the pin to Six Sisters Stuff. I have tried other recipes of theirs and loved them so figured this one would be good too! They have TONS of great recipes so be sure and check them out. If we have bananas on hand that are getting too ripe and no one is eating them then I just peel them and mash them up in a measuring cup and scoop them out into a baggie and freeze them. Most bananas are about a half of a cup each. I label the baggie when I put it in the freezer with how much is in each baggie. I had enough on hand so I thought I would try this recipe.

Peanut Butter Chip Banana Bread

 Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup peanut butter chips

 Directions:

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease your loaf pan (like an 8 x 4" pan) with shortening.

In a bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, set aside.

In a large bowl stir together bananas, peanut butter, oil, egg and sugars.

Pour dry ingredients into bowl with wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Batter will be lumpy (do not over-stir).

Fold in peanut butter chips and spread batter into prepared pan.

Bake for about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then loosen the edges of the pan with a knife and remove from loaf pan, transferring bread to a cooling rack.

 

The ingredients I used

                                                                                    DONE!

This bread was good. My loaf pan must have been smaller than theirs so my bread cooked 15 min. longer.  I thought it was very rich. I took some to work and shared it. One person thought it would have been better without the chips in it. I think next time I make it I will probably use a lot less peanut butter chips and add a few chocolate chips. It had a very nice peanut butter taste from the peanut butter in the batter. I'm not sure it needed that many chips. I sent several slices to some co workers in another location and was told they loved it and wanted more. Several other people where I work loved it also and wanted the recipe. So, very mixed reviews...most absolutely loved it and the others just thought it needed less chips but was still very good.
