Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for loaf pan
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/8 tsp. ground Himalayan pink salt
- 4 large overripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large free-range eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, melted
- 2 tbsp. milk
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour a loaf pan; set aside.
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until mixed and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add bananas, eggs, sugar, melted peanut butter, milk, melted butter and vanilla extract.
- Using the paddle attachment, start on low speed then increase to medium-high and process until everything is blended, about 2 minutes.
- Add dry ingredients, process on low speed until the mixture is just incorporated – don’t overmix it; clean the sides and the bottom of the bowl.
- Fold in semi-sweet chocolate before pouring the batter into the prepared loaf pan; level it out.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 75 to 80 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs.
- Remove from the heat and let it sit in the pan for 15 minutes. Unmold and transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.
