Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1-2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter, slightly melted (microwave for about 30 seconds, but also depends on your microwave)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ banana, sliced for the top of the bread (optional)
  • 2-3 tbsps creamy peanut butter, for drizzle (optional, but highly recommended)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, add the mashed bananas, slightly melted peanut butter, oil, sugar, and egg, whisking to combine. Stir in the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients, stir to combine.
  • Pour into loaf pan and top with banana slices if you are using them. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
  • Once the loaf is slightly cool, melt peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl (or on the stovetop over low heat) until it is slightly runny (about 30 seconds). Drizzle over the loaf. Enjoy!
