Decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe

Indulgent Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Today, I’m excited to share a decadent twist on a classic comfort food favorite. This indulgent chocolate peanut butter banana bread is the perfect treat for a lazy weekend morning or a cozy evening at home. The rich combination of chocolate and peanut butter takes this traditional recipe to a whole new level of deliciousness.

To make this mouth-watering banana bread, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 3 large ripe bananas (mashed)
• 250g all-purpose flour
• 30g cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 100g unsalted butter (melted)
• 100g peanut butter
• 150g brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 100g chocolate chips

Before you begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top of the batter before baking. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.

Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, slice the banana bread into thick slices and serve. This indulgent chocolate peanut butter banana bread is best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven.

A unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top of the bread before serving. The salt enhances the flavors of the chocolate and peanut butter, adding an extra depth of flavor to each bite.
