Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas and mix in applesauce, peanut butter, oil, eggs, and vanilla until cohesive.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans, smoothing the tops, and sprinkling additional chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, covering with foil if the tops brown too quickly, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool the bread in the pans for 15-20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
