About This Recipe
Hey there, it’s Sadia! My husband Sultan asked me casually, "Can we do something fun with peanut butter and chocolate?" on a rainy Saturday while I had three overripe bananas staring at me from the counter. That's how this Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Bread Recipe came to be. That instant produced a magical creation: moist banana bread with swirls of creamy peanut butter and melted chocolate chips. It is now a mainstay in our kitchen, particularly on warm weekends.
