How to Make Bishop Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or 8 mini-loaf pans. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Mash 3 ripe bananas and stir them into the wet ingredients.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ⅔ cup chopped peanuts.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan or mini-loaf pans (½ cup batter per mini-loaf).
  9. Sprinkle the remaining ⅓ cup chopped peanuts over the top.
  10. Bake the large loaf for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For mini-loaves, bake for 25-30 minutes.
  11. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
