Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread will fill your sweet tooth in a jiffy. Made with everyday pantry staples, it’s too good to be true!
Happy Monday! Did you all have a good weekend? How goes those New Years Resolutions?
I know you all are starting a new week and a new year with lots of vigor, strength, motivation and all around positive attitudes about your healthy eating & weight loss aspirations. Snaps for you for following through and starting those goals!
Did I make any resolutions this year? Yes, but none have to do with cutting sugar and/or fat out of my diet…hence this post. And it’s a doozie!
Do you read the title?
Peanut butter banana chocolate chip bread.
Yes, that is correct. It’s an extravagant breakfast/snack/ dessert that will fill your sweet tooth in a jiffy. Basically it’s banana bread on steroids…in a cute little package, no less! I like my desserts mini. That way I don’t have to feel guilty for eating 14. {See here, here, here and here.}
This recipe is pretty ridiculously simple. Here’s how it goes down:
Measure out all your dry ingredients into a bowl–bet you have ALL this stuff laying around in your pantry right now!
Use a whisk and stir it all together–you just want to break apart that brown sugar and mix in the leavenings.
Now grab some ripe bananas…like these little guys–
and mash away! {A great job for little hands!}
Pour that mashed banana into the well along with the remaining wet ingredients–again, you should have all these ingredients on hand.
Once you mix this all together and add in the chocolate chips, your batter is finito!
Spoon this right into your mouth…
And by mouth I mean into the pan.
Bake these babies at 325 for 20 or so minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted…you know the drill.
Cool these off a few minutes before attempting to remove from the pan. Then you can dress them up and prettify them with some ribbon, twine, whatever.
For those of you healthy eaters–I’m sorry.
For everyone else–you’re welcome.
Enjoy! 🙂

This is the BEST banana bread recipe! I have made it countless times and the whole family loves it.
This has become a go-to favorite! I’ve made it a few times and will definitely make it again ?
Looks delicious. I will be making this really soon.
I’ve been trying several of the banana bread recipes that you have shared on Facebook and I can’t wait to try this one next!
Used crunchy peanut butter instead and they were so good!
So I am the one that asks: I have some mini pans never used because I don’t know how much to fill them. How far up the sides of the pan do you fill these pans? I know it sounds dumb. I have looked all around and asked Pinterest. Everyone talks about making the batter, the amount of time to bake, at what temp. Most don’t tell whether to grease the pan, how much to fill the smaller pans, or method of cooling. AND nobody tells how much their recipes make! How many cookies? How much soup? What do you call a large skillet, sauce pan, or bowl. Some of these left out tidbits keep me from making a recipe. We look to you bloggers for advise about your recipes. Not all your readers are fellow bloggers. Thank You.
Love these 🙂
[…] here and here. And […]
I want to make these. However only have 2 mini pans. How much batter per pan? Like 2/3?
This recipe has been my go-to for the past several years. It’s super yummy, moist, and oh, so easy!
My husband and I recently moved and I can’t for the life of me find my mini loaf pans. I was surprised that the topic hasn’t come up regarding using this recipe in a regular sized loaf pan so I did some experimenting. Here are my findings:
I used a non-stick metal regular sized loaf pan. I actually doubled this recipe and made 2 regular sized loafs (they were a little bit shorter than I wanted so maybe next time I’ll triple the recipe and they would come out bigger. You’d probably have to adjust the baking time accordingly). I baked the half-full loaf for 45-50 mins at 350°F on the bottom rack. The sides browned a bit more than I wanted but my baking pan is brand spanking new so maybe it has something to do with that. The top was beautiful and golden brown.
Hope this helps! If you experiment, please let us know how it goes!
looks easy to make. Will try it when I get all the ingredents
.
Would love to make these! Can you tell me the size of the pan you used (dimensions of the actual wells?) thx!

Update: The muffins came out great! One batch made six large muffins! I couldn’t copy a photo here, but I left a link above! 🙂
Have these in the oven now! I’m making them muffins instead though, hope they turn out awesome! Yours are so pretty! Love the packaging! I have new neighbors and I think these will make awesome house warming presents!! 🙂
Thanks again!!
Yummmm! I had lots of overripe bananas and found this recipe. Made mini muffins and they were a perfect blend of moist and fluffy. Will definitely make these again!
Hi Lauren. This is my first time entering your food blog and I’m so addicted to your recipes. I did try this recipe today, but I used the cupcake baking tray instead. Everyone just loved it so much. Thanks a lot xoxoxo

I just made these again and they turned out even better. They are good enough to be a birthday cake, just addictively delicious. Sublime. (I blogged them too.) I used whole wheat white flour, added extra cinnamon, and split the oil into a half oil/half yogurt mix, which made the texture even fluffier than the last time I made them. I LOVE THESE. Thanks for the fantastic recipe.
Great recipe! Just made these and they taste delicious, although I used mini muffin trays. I also made a second batch substituting the peanut butter for walnuts, and those came out equally as delicious. Thanks for the post!
Love this! I am too lazy to make mini loaves so I doubled the recipe and made a bread (more like cake) instead. I did 1/4c oil + 1/4c butter and only used 3 bananas and it turned out great. Tested by my husband, 2 year old son and 2 friends and got big thumbs up from all.
Found your website on a google search when I was looking for a healthy banana chocolate chip bread and I absolutely adore your photo presentation and love the premise of your website (everday ingredients, extraordinary food). I’m going to surf your other stuff tonight!
Delicious! Have had my eye on this recipe for ages and today was the day. Delightful. Thank you! Did mini loaves and they were perfect.
I used mini-muffin pans and they turned out great!

These are great! I don’t have a mini load pan, so I made them as muffins and they turned out wonderful. Very moist! MMM 🙂 Thanks!

I made this recipe and used a large loaf pan rather than the small mini loaves (only because I don’t own a mini loaf pan.. yet!). It turned out great and was delicious! The only adjustment I had to make was allowing it to bake for approx. 30-40 minutes; I kept an eye on the loaf and took it out when the top was golden brown and a toothpick was clean.
Hi Lauren
Where did you purchase that pan.
Walmart!

Oh wow, peanut butter and banana are amazing together, and these look phenomenal!
Yes, I, too am glad that I didn’t make a resolution to cut sugar out, because I need one of these!!
Would this recipe relate to one regular loaf pan? Can’t wait to try…looks so good.
I haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
These don’t appear very bad at all, especially since there’s no butter in the mix. I think these will be a delightful treat. Nice recipe!
Wait…what? Banana is totally healthy:-) These loaves look scrumptious!
Happy New Year! These are so awesome Lauren. I love mini loaves and have been wanting to get myself a tray sometime. I love every ingredient and you are right that almost every ingredient is in my pantry right now. All but the bananas. I will have to get some to try it.
I was shocked when I saw this was mini, the first picture looks huge. Girl, this isnt’ too bad in fat… oil, peanut butter, banana isn’t bad, at least there is no butter, and little bit sugar. 🙂 Happy New Year!
LOVE those mini loaves, adorable!
Teehee, banana bread on steroids! (*.*)
Aw these are such sweet little loaves! I love the pb & banana combo…doesn’t get much better than that!
Lauren,
These look Delicious! Can’t wait to try them. I’m always looking for new ways to use up the over-ripe bananas.
I made these the other day and they were Awesome! I will definitely add this recipe to my recipe basket. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Looks like a perfect way to start the new year. Happy New Year!
Such cute little bundles must be delicious!
Ha! This post made me chuckle. I SO feel like I need to get back to eating healthy, but I keep getting pulled back into sweet territory! These are so cute all wrapped up too! How about salad for lunch and dinner, and these little babies for breakfast and snack? It’s all about balance. . . .
The title alone hits like 3 of my favorite food groups: Peanut butter, Bananas, and Chocolate!
…and yes, those are totally food groups!
These are beyond cute. I never knew I needed a mini loaf pan, until I see your loaves 🙂
Mini loaves are so darn CUTE! Completely irresistible.
Oh I need a mini-loaf pan, your blog is so bad for my bank balance! These look awesomely cute.
I have banana’s just like this! Perfect! This is being made 🙂
These look soooo good. I may have to make them in mini-cupcake tins for my son! YUM thanks 🙂
These are just adorable! I have been meaning to purchase a mini loaf pan…this recipe just gave me the push I needed! : )
Yes! Please never apologize for such awesomeness!!! Happy New Year, Lauren!
Oooh, I can’t believe my husband talked me out of the mini-loaf pans on my Boxing Day kitchen stock-up! I just KNEW something like this would come along begging to me made!

Yay for minis! Plus I love the way you packaged it up with the raffia. Cute and crafty!
These are worth breaking a diet for:-) Mini loaves are so fun and cute.
P.S. I made your red velvet coconut donuts on Saturday and they were AMAZING!!!! SO SO SO SO moist and perfect! I will be making them again and again and again. Thanks for such a fabulous recipe. They were a huge hit at my dinner party – I linked back to you in my latest post!
