Peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread is the best of all possible worlds!
This bread is packed with ingredients that make great pairings, but when combined as a trio?
Well, they kind of make for the ultimate banana bread.

I use a creamy, commercial brand of peanut butter here.
I dont usually bake with natural peanut butter because it tends to take a little more finessing to incorporate.
I want it to soften and smooth out so it will incorporate more easily.

You could use chunky, but I prefer creamy.
It shouldnt cause any issues if you were to substitute one for the other.
Its really your preference.
Cindy Rahe
I avoid topping the batter with bar chocolate, because it can melt off and burn as it bakes.
Just add some to the top when it comes out of the oven.
(Double wrapping will protect from freezer burn and keep the bread from absorbing freezer smells.)

Fold in the flour until completely combined, followed by the chocolate chips.
Remove the bread from the oven and place on a rack to cool completely before turning out.

Leftovers are great toasted lightly in a pan with butter.
