Peanutty Chocolate-Banana Bread

This is a recipe I have made several times now. Will and I love sweet breakfasts: cinnamon rolls, apple turnovers, pumpkin bread, muffins, etc. So, this recipe is definitely a winner! I am not a fan of chunks in my banana bread, or an overpowering banana flavor. This recipe is perfect for that!

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas, about 2 medium (I puree in a blender so that there are no chunks)
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate morsels
- 1/3 cup peanuts, coarsely chopped (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.
Spray bottom of a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. In large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add bananas, milk, peanut butter, oil, and egg; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in chocolate morsels. Spoon batter into pan.

Bake 60-70 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven; cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan to cooling rack; cool completely.

Anna-Kate loved this bread as well! Who doesn't love an allowable way to include chocolate in your breakfast?! Thanks to Pampered Chef for this recipe; it came with my loaf pan.
