Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe Tips:
- PEANUT BUTTER: Use smooth or crunchy peanut butter, not natural pb.
- ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Chocolate makes everything more delicious! You can add 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
- PAN SIZE: I use standard loaf pans for loaves (1 lb. Pan: 8″ x 4 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ inch loaf pan).
- STORAGE: Keep this loaf covered in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- FREEZING: This loaf freezes well. Wrap tightly and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- OPTIONS: If you like nuts in banana bread feel free to add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans or peanuts.
