Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

 I came across this recipe, and new I just had to try it!! I love banana bread, and I love the combo of chocolate and peanut butter!!! So the combo of the 3 really had me intrigued!!!
It was super good. We all loved it, and devoured the whole thing one night after dinner (there are 7 of us in our family, mind you).

-3 (very ripe) bananas, mashed

-Reese's Peanut Butter Chips (about 1/2 - 3/4 cup)

- 3/4 cup Milk Chocolate Chips

-1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

-1/4 cup coconut oil

-1 egg

-1/2 cup granulated sugar

-1/4 cup light brown sugar

-1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

-1/2 tsp. baking soda

-1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

-1/2 tsp. salt

 

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a loaf pan.

1. Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl and set to the side.

2. Mash bananas with a potato masher. 

3. Stir together the bananas, egg, oil, sugar, and peanut butter. 

4. Add your dry ingredients to the banana mixture, and stir until just combined. The batter will be lumpy. Do not overmix!

 5. Carefully fold in the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. 

6. Add batter to the pan and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let it cool before slicing, and then enjoy...it's just as good as dessert!

Not Yo' Mama's Banana Pudding

My hubby went to a baptism where afterwards they served this dessert up. He absolutely loves banana pudding and banana cream pie. After one bite of this he knew he had to find out what it was so I could make it for him. After asking around he found out it was a recipe from Paula Deen called Not Yo' mama's Banana Pudding. He asked me to please make it for him for Fathers Day, so I did. And it was De. Li. Sious.! I am not a big fan of banana type desserts except for banana bread. I guess I can add one more to the list. :)

Line the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch dish with 1 bag of cookies and layer bananas on top.

In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix and blend well using a handheld electric mixer. Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth. Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended.
