Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup (85 g) chocolate chips
The output only contains this content.
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350°F and coating a 9×5 inch loaf pan with a light grease layer to prevent sticking.
- Select fully ripened bananas and transform them into a silky, smooth puree using a fork or potato masher, ensuring no substantial chunks remain.
- Incorporate raw eggs and creamy peanut butter into the banana mixture, stirring vigorously until the ingredients create a uniform, homogeneous blend.
- Delicately introduce chocolate chips into the batter, using gentle folding motions to distribute them evenly without deflating the mixture’s airy texture.
- Transfer the complete batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it uniformly to guarantee consistent baking and an attractive final appearance.
- Position the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, monitoring the progress by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean and dry when the bread is perfectly cooked.
- After removing from the oven, let the banana bread rest inside the pan for 10 minutes to stabilize its structure, then carefully release and transfer to a wire cooling rack to reach room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure bananas are super ripe for maximum natural sweetness and deeper flavor profile.
- Swap peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for alternative nutty undertones and dietary preferences.
- Use dark chocolate chips for lower sugar content or dairy-free options if managing specific nutritional needs.
- Consider sprinkling extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a more decadent visual appeal and textural crunch.
