peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread

This is one of my absolute favourite recipes. Banana bread has been a food I have loved since I was a little kid. Spending more time at home these last few months has allowed me more opportunities to bake and make foods that I love. This recipe is quite simple and easy to follow. I have given this recipe to friends who consider themselves beginner bakers and they have completed this with success. In case you needed some reassurance you can do this!
