I followed this recipe to the T and the peanut butter or bananas didn't stand out. Also, it did not rise hardly at all. I wonder if the measurement of the baking powder was wrong and/or if there should have been baking soda included in the recipe. It was alright but not great at all.

Very good! I was looking for a quick bread that would feed a crowd. This fit the bill! It has a really nice flavor - banana and peanut butter flavors were subtle and not too sweet, and the chocolate chips were a nice addition. Especially nice in that it is fairly healthy too!

Very good, nice texture. The favors melded instead of being overpowering with either banana, peanut butter or chocolate. I did use semi sweet because that's what I had on hand and I think it worked really well. only small change I mad is using splenda for the white sugar. I used regular brown sugar too.
