Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 bananas, mashed
  • 1 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 5-x-9-inch loaf pan. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs; beat well. Stir in peanut butter, bananas, flour and baking soda until blended. Fold in peanuts and chocolate morsels. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 70 to 80 minutes. If the top of the bread begins to get too dark, cover loosely with foil and continue to bake. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Makes 1 loaf. Enjoy !
  • Note: This bread is a terrific gift to give to the mailman, doorman, neighbor, teacher, etc. It could be added to a small basket with a mug and some coffee for a delicious gift! Or even a small jar of homemade jam ... yummy!
