How to Make Peanut Butter N Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8x4x2 inch loaf pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add ⅓ cup milk, ½ cup creamy peanut butter, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Whisk until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
- Remove from pans and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Wrap tightly and store overnight to allow flavors to meld.
- **Peanut Butter Frosting:** In a small saucepan, melt ½ cup chunky peanut butter and ¼ cup margarine or butter over low heat. Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of milk, stirring until you reach desired frosting consistency.
- Once the bread is completely cool, frost generously. Garnish with finely chopped peanuts and mini chocolate chips (optional).
