There they sit, staring me down from their perch on the counter.
Why is it that some weeks, we plow through bananas like nobody’s business, but other weeks, they sit on the counter as a last resort?
This is one of the mysteries of life. We either eat the entire bunch in 1.2 days or they sit, forgotten, until they aren’t anything anybody would eat anyway.
I can’t bear to throw them away, but they’re past their prime.
Coupled with the fact that my kids can scarf down snacks like nobody’s business, I knew I needed to put the freckly fruit to use.
And when you have a sweet tooth as powerful as mine, I knew I wouldn’t be just throwing these overripe bananas in smoothies or something like that. Nope.
I have loved baking ever since I was a kid, and it’s something I enjoy involving my own kids in now. And sometimes I like to whip up a little treat for them as a fun surprise. 🙂
We love light and fluffy banana bread, strawberry banana bread, banana pear bread, and pistachio banana bread around here, but I thought I’d change it up a little bit and pair some of our favorite classic flavors together.
And that, my friend, is how this chocolate peanut butter banana bread was born. There’s good reason why it made the cut on my list of the best banana bread recipes!

How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread
In a mixing bowl, you’ll start by whisking together a few dry ingredients.
Then, in the bowl of a stand mixer (or a regular mixing bowl with a hand mixer), cream together the peanut butter and the sugars. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and make sure everything is mixed well.
Then you’ll alternate adding mashed bananas and the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Add the batter to a prepared loaf pan and pop it in the oven. Once a toothpick comes out of the center clean, it’s ready to come out of the oven.
Let it cool a bit before slicing and serving. Then, enjoy this yummy snack that keeps your fruit from going to waste! 🙂
