Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

(Oops... hit "publish" on accident before finishing the post, lol!  Here is the rest:)

One of my cooking friends made this bread, and it looked and sounded so good that I wanted to make it too.  Well, it was good!  The pb/chocolate combo made it taste almost cake-like.  But the recipe is actually quite healthy, using all whole wheat pastry flour, raw sugar, plain yogurt, and just a bit of oil.  I enjoyed quite a bit of this.  :)
