70 minutes

Banana bread with chocolate and salted peanuts is a comforting baked good that embodies American traditions. The sweetness of ripe bananas complements the rich flavor of chocolate, while the salted peanuts add contrast, making the bread's texture more interesting. This recipe originated during the Great Depression when homemakers sought ways to use overripe bananas. Its softness, moisture, and rich aroma make it perfect for breakfast or a cozy tea time. The slight saltiness of the peanuts adds zest to the bread, and chocolate chunks melt with each bite, creating a rich taste. It can be served warm or chilled with a cup of coffee or milk and can also be used as a base for desserts like French toast.
