Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to make Peanut Butter Chip Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease your loaf pan (8 x 4″ pan) with shortening or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, set aside.

- Bake for about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then loosen the edges of the pan with a knife and remove from loaf pan, transferring bread to a cooling rack.
Storage Suggestions
The best way to store this bread is placing it in an air tight storage container and keeping it in the fridge. If you aren’t going to eat it all within a week, we recommend freezing it.
The best way to freeze it is placing it in an airtight storage container or gallon-sized freezer bag and putting it in the freezer. It will last nicely in the freezer for about 2 weeks and in the fridge for about 4-5 days.
To thaw it, we recommend placing it in the fridge overnight and serving it the next day. Pop it in the microwave for a few seconds and it will taste like it was fresh out of the oven.
Peanut Butter Banana Bread Add-Ins:
This bread is delicious as is with the peanut butter chips. However if you want to try something else, here are a few add ins we highly recommend:
- M & M’s

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
I loved peanut butter ans banana sandwiches as a kid, I have to try this! Thanks !
Yum!! I just made Banana Oatmeal 2 Chip Cookies (peanut butter chip and semisweet chocolate chip). They were AMAZING!!! Tasted like chocolate chip oatmeal cookies mixed with peanut butter covered bananas 🙂
This looks amazing! I can’t ever turn down peanut butter and banana together!
I just made this bread minus the peanut butter chips because I didn’t have any on hand….and all I can say is it was AMAZING!!! Thank you for all you do!!!
Has anyone tried half chocolate chip/half peanut butter chips?
We think it sounds super delicious!
I have one in the oven with half and half!
This was a huge fail for me 🙁 I followed the directions step by step and used an 8 X 4 pan as suggested. After baking an hour I took it out because the top was burning. I waited the 10 minutes to turn it out onto a wire rack to cool. Once I did this I went to flip it right side up and it practically fell apart. I pulled it apart to see the middle was still raw. Next time I will try baking this in two pans instead of one. I did eat some of the sides that were done and it is delicious which makes me even more so disappointed that it didn’t turn out.
Nice
SO good! I doubled the batch for 2 loaves. It was super moist. I did (as I always do) cover the tops with foil for the last 15 minutes. My family gobbled it up!
This is our new favorite banana bread! It’s incredible! Thank you!!
We are so glad you like the banana bread. It’s great with chocolate chips or peanut butter chips, or both!
Made this bread yesterday, it was fantastic!!
We are so glad your liked the Peanut Butter Chip Banana Bread. It’s one of our favorites. Have a great week.
This sounds delicious! I’m excited to try it! I was wondering how this recipe would adapt to muffin tins? I don’t have a functioning loaf pan right now, but I NEED to use these bananas. Any tips?
I think it should work great in a muffin tin. It won’t need to cook nearly as long, so just keep an eye on them.
Mmmm! Do you think mini loafs would work with this recipe? Any suggestions on cool time?
You can for sure cook these in a mini loaf pan. Be sure to watch closely since we don’t have the exact cook time.
While this recipe caught my eye, with an unusual combination for banana bread, and I was hoping not to like it. I have a fantastic recipe for banana bread from my grandmother, and hoped my bread would easily beat out any competition. Well… THIS BREAD IS CRAZY AMAZING.
I do still love Nana’s recipe, I make this as much, ok, maybe more than Nana’s. This bread is so, so good.
Nothing beats Grandma’s recipe, but you just made our whole week with your sweet comment about our Peanut Butter Chip Banana bread. We are so glad you like it!
This banana bread is SOO good! I used mini chocolate chips and I didn’t have peanut butter but I had cashew butter so I used that. Worked just fine! Did I say it was SO good??
This was so yummy!
Are the nutritional content numbers listed per serving or for the whole loaf? Thanks in advance!
It’s per slice. But you can slice it thinner to get more servings and the calorie count would be lower.
I want to make this, but I want to substitute the flor for blanched almond flour and cut the amount of sugar down.
Substituted Oat Flour at 1 and 1/3 cups were every cup of all purpose flour for this and used mini chocolate chips to make mini muffins and results were outstanding! THANK YOU for this great recipe, amazing base with lots of options. I keep coming back!
