One of my all time favorite foods is peanut butter. If it has PB, I will eat it. When I ran across this recipe, I was a little hesitant because I didn't know how well PB and bananas went together. Since I made this bread two weeks ago, I have not been able to stop thinking about it since. I'm going to share the recipe with you, my faithful readers. Make it. Enjoy it. Dream about it.
Topping:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup creamy PB
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Batter:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 pkg (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
In a small bowl, stir the flour, brown sugar, PB and cinnamon until crumbly; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon; stir into creamed mixture just until moistened.
Divide half of the batter between two greased 8 in. by 4 in. loaf pans; sprinkle with half of the topping. Top with chocolate chips. Repeat lays of batter and topping.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
Enjoy.

I am eager to try this - sounds yummy! One of Kayla and my favorite sandwiches is peanut butter with a sliced banana on it. We also like a banana with a spoon full of peanut butter with it.
