Description
A delightful treat that combines rich chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and sweet bananas, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, peanut butter, sugar, and eggs. Mix until smooth and well combined, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a vegan option, replace eggs with flax eggs.
- Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter for nut-free alternatives.
- Swap granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
- For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend.
