Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Peanut Butter Banana Bread

2 cups (300 grams) flour - I used half white, half wholemeal
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon, or other spices, you could use more or less, or leave it out entirely.
100 grams chocolate chips
125 grams peanut butter
1/2 cup milk or buttermilk (it's not so important, I had leftover buttermilk so that's what I used)
1 egg
3-4 mashed, over-ripe bananas (300 grams with skin off)

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius and prepare a loaf tin.

In one large bowl, sift the dry ingredients together (except the sugar, you can't sift that, just tip it in). Add the chocolate chips and give it a good mix.

In another bowl, soften the peanut butter in the microwave, then add the milk and whisk it together well. Whisk in the egg and then the mashed banana.

Pour the liquid into the dry mixture and mix it slowly. You don't want to over-mix it, just give it a good stir with a spoon until it is smooth, then pour it into your prepared tin.

Bake the loaf for about an hour. When you insert a skewer or knife into the centre it should come out clean.

Let it cool completely before serving.
