Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread topped with a generous swirl of creamy peanut butter, mini chocolate chips and salted peanuts. I’ll just let that soak in for a minute…ok, who wants the recipe?

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread

I’ve been making this recipe for banana bread for years now. It’s my go-to anytime the banana bread craving hits and always turns out moist and delicious. I’ve made so many different variations of this bread, chocolate chip being one of the favorites. Last week I was CRAVING peanut butter. I’m pretty sure it stemmed from a peanut butter oatmeal picture I spotted on Instagram and well, the craving got the better of me. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Out came my loaf pan and with it the peanut butter, mini chocolate chips and salted peanuts. I wanted crunchy, salty, sweet and chocolatey all in one bite without loosing that banana flavor. So I decided to add chocolate to the bread itself and keep the peanuts and butter on top. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread

The result was one over-the-top delicious banana bread! This was a homerun flavor combination to be sure and a variation on a classic recipe that I plan to make again and again.
