cook time: 60

The best banana bread ever!! Full of peanut butter and chocolate chips!

INGREDIENTS:

1 3/4 Cup Flour
3/4 Teaspoons Baking Soda
1 1/4 Teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/3 cup Butter, unsalted, softened
1/3 Cup Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
2/3 Cup White Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 Cup Mashed Bananas, ripe (2-3 Medium bananas that have gone freckly)
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter Chips

DIRECTIONS:

Heat the oven to 350.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, with a handheld mixer or the bowl of a kitchen aide, combine the butter, and peanut butter until smooth. Make sure you used softened butter (leave it on the counter for 30-60 minutes). Add the sugar and eggs, and mix to combine.
Turn the mixer on medium speed and add a little of the dry mixture. Allow to mix until almost incorporated and add a scoop of the banana. Allow to mix again and then continue to alternate between dry ingredients and the banana, ending with the banana. Add the chocolate and peanut butter chips, stir to combine.
Spray a bread pan (I prefer light in color or glass pans), with cooking spray and add the banana bread mixture. Bake for 50-60 minutes, tenting with foil the last few minutes to avoid too dark a crust.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes and turn out onto a wire rack. Enjoy!

Banana Crumb Muffins

We love banana bread, so these muffins make it quick in the morning. Sometimes I put the crumb topping on it, but usually not. It is plenty sweet and tasty without it.

1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
Topping
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbl flour
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbl butter
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease muffin cups or line with muffin papers.
2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
3. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 Tbl flour and cinnamon. Cut in 1 Tbl butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.
