Peanutty Chocolate Banana Bread

My first contribution to Pinterest...this bread is very yummy, not too heavy or sweet and a great breakfast bread or snack!  I found this recipe in an old Pampered Chef cookbook from way back and I used bananas that I had previously sealed with the Food Saver and frozen/thawed out and they worked perfectly!  (great way to salvage bananas that have gotten too ripe, but you don't have time to cook anything with them right away)

2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup milk chocolate morsels, divided
1/3 cup peanuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray bottom only of of loaf pan with nonstick spray.  Combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.  Add bananas, milk, peanut butter, oil and egg; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.  Stir in 3/4 cup of the milk chocolate morsels.  Spoon batter into pan.  Coarsely chop peanut and sprinkle peanuts and remaining 1/4 cup milk chocolate morsels evenly over batter.  Bake 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool in pan 10 minutes.  Loosen sides of loaf from pan and remove to cooling rack to cool completely.  Cut into slices with bread knife for best results.
