I’m obsessed with Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread for all the right reasons. My favorite part is the use of mini chocolate peanut butter cups… that was a happy accident. I was making a banana loaf ‘spur of the moment’ to save some bananas that had gone RIPE RIPE, and didn’t have enough chocolate chips to to meet the right ratios. I did have mini chocolate peanut butter cups in my pantry though, and the rest is history.
This loaf has been keeping my household company all quarantine and I can only imagine it will continue to do so through the winter months. Easy, and a crowd pleaser… what more do you want? Watch my reels on IG for step by step!
