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.
