Notes
My Top Tip: Check your bread around 40 minutes into the baking time, and if the top is cooked, place some foil over the top so that the center continues to cook but the top doesn't burn.
Storage: Store your chocolate peanut butter banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
Freezing: This peanut butter banana bread will keep well frozen for up to 3 months. You can freeze the whole loaf or individual slices. Once it's cooled, wrap the bread securely in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag. Thaw your frozen bread at room temperature.
