Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together melted butter, creamy peanut butter, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Mix until well incorporated.
  4. Gently stir the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in optional chocolate chips or chopped walnuts/pecans if desired.
