Ingredients:

  • 3 large overripe bananas (approx. 1.5 cups mashed)
  • 0.5 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
  • 0.25 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup (150g) dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1.5 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Note: The overhang acts as a handle later.
  2. In a large glass mixing bowl, mash the 3 overripe bananas until they are mostly liquid with only very small structural lumps remaining. The mixture should look like a thick, pale yellow soup.
  3. Whisk the 57g of melted butter, 125g of peanut butter, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 150g of dark brown sugar into the mashed bananas. Whisk vigorously for approximately 60 seconds until the mixture looks glossy and the sugar has partially dissolved.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 190g of all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 0.5 tsp fine sea salt. Note: This ensures the leavening agent is evenly distributed.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a silicone spatula. Stop mixing when you see just a few streaks of flour remaining to avoid a tough dough texture.
  6. Toss the 170g of chocolate chips with a tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking, then fold them into the batter. Note: This step is the secret to chocolate in every bite.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with your spatula.
  8. Bake for 60 minutes until the top is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment sling to move it to a wire rack. Wait at least 20 minutes before slicing to let the crumb set.
