Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of one 9" x 5" loaf pan (or two 8" x 4" pans) with waxed paper, and spray with non-stick baking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the mashed bananas, oil, sugar, eggs, and creamy peanut butter until smooth. You can use a hand or stand mixer for this as well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir in 3/4 each of the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips, reserving 1/4 cup of each for the topping.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan(s). Top with the reserved chocolate and peanut butter chips.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes for the 9" x 5" pan. For the smaller 8" x 4" pans, bake for 40-45 minutes, or when toothpick inserted comes out clean and crumb-free.
Remove the bread from the oven and let cool completely. Once the bread is cool, run a knife around the edges of the pan, and invert. Remove the bottom piece of waxed paper.
