Ingredients

5 very ripe bananas about 1 ⅔ cup
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup oil any type- I used coconut oil.
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 eggs
1 ¾ cup flour I regularly swap out all-purpose flour for whole wheat.
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup mini chocolate chips divided

Instructions

Prep: Get started by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Then, spray a 15×10.5″ pan with non-stick spray, set aside.
Batter: Next, peel the bananas and mash well in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the brown sugar, oil, peanut butter, eggs and vanilla extract, until the ingredients are combined.
Then, add the dry ingredients: the flour, baking soda, and salt and stir again to combine.
Last, fold in 1/2 of the chocolate chips until just combined.
Bake: Proceed to spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cut and Serve: Let the bread cool completely for about 15-20 minutes and then cut into squares. Serve immediately or save for later, either way, enjoy!
