Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

When I was getting my lunch ready for work today I saw that the bananas were getting pretty ripe. I told Richard not to eat them because when I got home from work today that I would make banana bread with the bananas. Well as I driving to work I started thinking about the banana bread. I use to talk to Richard on my cell phone as I drove to work but now that my car is a No Phone Zone thanks to Oprah. Now that I had some free time to think, I was thinking that maybe I would add chocolate chips to the batter, then I started thinking about my favorite sandwich peanut butter and banana, yes you read it right this southern girl loves her peanut butter and banana sandwiches, some people here in California including my husband think that my favorite sandwich is a strange combination. I say to them give it a try you will love it. Just as much as I know you will love this bread.
