Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 Overripe Bananas (mashed)
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream or Yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mash the Bananas and Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth. Add the creamy peanut butter, melted butter, eggs, sour cream or yogurt, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until fully combined into a creamy mixture.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients Separately: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking soda to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana and peanut butter mixture, gently mixing to avoid overworking the batter which can lead to a dense cake.
  5. Add Mini Chocolate Chips: Fold mini chocolate chips into the batter evenly, ensuring pockets of melty chocolate in every slice.
  6. Bake Until Golden Brown: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before slicing for best moist texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and light.
  • Ensure eggs and dairy ingredients are at room temperature for smooth batter and even baking.
  • Opt for creamy, natural peanut butter to avoid overpowering saltiness.
  • Check doneness early with a toothpick as oven temperatures vary.
