  • 1¾ cups220 gAll-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup90 gPeanut butter, no salt addedstirred smooth
  • ½ cup packed110 gBrown sugarpacked
  • 2 large100 gEggsroom temperature
  • ¼ cup57 gUnsalted buttermelted and slightly cooled

  • 1⅛ tsp5 gBaking soda
  • ½ tsp3 gSalt
  • ⅔ cup110 gSemisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup70 gDry-roasted peanuts, unsaltedroughly chopped

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a little of the melted butter and line it with a parchment sling.
  2. Roughly chop the dry-roasted peanuts and divide them: set aside one third of the chopped dry-roasted peanuts for the topping and keep the remaining two thirds for the batter.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, mash the banana, then whisk in the peanut butter, the rest of the melted butter, the brown sugar, the egg, the yogurt and the vanilla until smooth.
  5. Fold the flour mixture into the banana mixture just until no dry streaks remain.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and the two thirds of the chopped dry-roasted peanuts kept for the batter.
  7. Scrape the batter into the pan, smooth the top and scatter over the remaining third of the chopped dry-roasted peanuts, pressing them in lightly.
  8. Bake 55 to 65 minutes, tenting with foil after 40 minutes if the top browns fast, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean (a smear of melted chocolate is fine).
  9. Cool in the pan 15 minutes, then lift onto a rack and cool at least 45 minutes before cutting into 12 slices.

Food safety: Don't taste raw dough or batter: raw flour and raw eggs can carry germs.
