Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

This recipe was introduced on our instagram page (do you follow us @sweetpotatochronicles) to rave reviews. We actually couldn’t believe the response. Well, we sort of could because, holy God, this recipe is loaf heaven. We also realized it’s very versatile, too. We had one follower sub in gluten free flour and others do a mix of whole wheat and all purpose flour as well as some who just used all purpose and all of them came out great. In other words, like all our recipes, use what you have on-hand. This moist and delicious loaf makes a perfect after school snack or breakfast. We’ve spent the entire summer eating a slice of it in the morning with fresh fruit and yogurt, and we’re not about to give it up once school starts. 

Since this addictive loaf does have peanut butter, you’ll want to avoid sending it to school, but if you need lunch ideas we have plenty of them in our new FOOD NETWORK series called Love Your Lunch. You can check it out here.

Each of the eight episodes (including Breakfast Your Lunch and Immunity Boost Your Lunch) are jam-packed with recipes. In other words, it’s not just one lonely, little sandwich. (Although we heart you, sandwiches.) This series also gives you practical strategies for taking the grind out of lunch packing. (Don’t miss the Muffin Tin Your lunch episode because the Mac and Cheese Muffin Tin Cups are out of this world!)We hope you enjoy it.
