    Notes

    • Instead of chocolate chips, you can even add peanut butter chips or nuts for extra flavor.
    • Using ripe bananas will not only give the best flavor but also add natural moisture to your bread.
    • Use the creamy or crunchy store-bought peanut butter. Natural peanut butter is not a great choice for baking.
    • For a festive holiday vibe, add cinnamon or even cream cheese frosting to the bread.
    • Serve each slice with a dollop of peanut butter and a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
    • You can even add roasted peanuts on top for additional crunch.
    • Store this bread wrapped in plastic wrap for three days at room temperature. You can also freeze it for up to 1 month. Double wrap to avoid any freezer burn.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I substitute all-purpose flour with any other flour?

    I have tested this only for all-purpose flour. If you use wheat flour or any gluten-free flour, it may absorb more moisture, making your bread dry.

    Can I use any nut butter?

    Peanut butter is the key ingredient here. But you can substitute it with any nut butter like cashew, almond, pumpkin, or even use lotus biscoff spread.
