Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Cake. One of our very best recipes to use that never ending supply of over ripe bananas on your kitchen counter.

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

Our mission continues to find new ways to use up those brown speckled bananas that are always on the counter top. We have featured chocolate banana breads, banana cake, banana muffins and banana cupcakes to name a few but today, peanut butter enters the mix.

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

The idea is inspired by the many peanut butter and banana sandwiches I ate as a kid. When my mom wasn’t looking, I’d add a sprinkle of chocolate chips.

I always use 50% cocoa dark chocolate chips but you can substitute any kind you like..

Those were silently and stealthily procured from the kitchen pantry cupboard to made their way into many a sandwich.

This cake deliciously combines all three elements into a great dessert cake to end any meal or at a weekend brunch.
