Banana Bread

I have to say, this was the yummiest banana bread I have ever had. I love my dad's banana bread but this was to die for! You have to try this. Good luck limiting yourself to just 1 slice! Thanks Celeste!

1/4 c butter, softened
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed banana (about 2 medium)
1/3 c fat-free plain yogurt
1 t vanilla
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c whole wheat flour
3/4 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 c peanut butter chips
1/2 c semi-sweet choc chips, melted

1. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 min. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the bananas, yogurt and vanilla. Combine the flours, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; gradually beat into the butter mixture. Stir in peanut butter chips.
2. Remove 2 cup batter to a small bowl;stir in melted chocolate until well blended. Pour half of the remaining plain batter into a 9 x 5 in loaf pan coated with cooking spray; top with half of the chocolate batter. Repeat layers. Cut through batter with a knife to swirl.
3. Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
