Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup mashed bananas
  • 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Spray a 7x3-inch springform pan with baking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, mashed bananas, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until combined.
  • Add in eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract and sour cream. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and mix JUST until combined, make sure to NOT over mix.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, level the top with a spatula. Cover completely with foil.
  • Add 1 ½ cups water to the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Place the pan on a trivet with handles or if your trivet doesn't have handles, make a sling using foil and lower the pan into the pot onto the trivet.
  • Lock the lid and make sure the valve is set to SEALING.
  • Select HIGH PRESSURE for 55 minutes. After cook time ends, allow pressure to naturally release for 15 minutes.
  • Do a quick release for the remaining pressure.
  • Open the lid and remove the pan.
  • Allow bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes IN the pan. After that remove it from the pan and place it on a cooling rack.
  • Serve as is or wait for the bread to cool and make a simple glaze with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to pour on top.

Notes

  • Storage: To store leftovers, wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap or foil, and keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze slices of the bread. Just wrap each slice in plastic and place it in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
  • Pairing: Enjoy the bread with a dollop of cream cheese or a smear of additional peanut butter for a decadent snack.
